Did she choose that?' Or, more normatively, 'Why would she choose
that?' This book critiques and offers an alternative to these
questions, which have traditionally framed law and policy
discussions circulating around controversial genderized practices.
It examines the simplicity and incompleteness of choice-based
rhetoric and of presumptions that women's conduct is shaped, in an
absolute way, either by choice or by coercion. This book develops
an analytical framework that aims to discern the meaning and value
that women may ascribe to morally ambiguous practices. An analysis
of law's approach to polygamy, surrogacy and sex work, particularly
in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, provides a basis for
evaluating the choice-coercion binary and for contemplating
alternate modes for assessing, from a law and policy standpoint,
the palatability of social practices that appear pernicious to
women. Weaving together interdisciplinary research, an innovative
analytical framework for assessing choices ostensibly harmful to
women, and a critique of the legal rules governing such choices,
this book bears relevance for students, scholars, practicing
jurists and policymakers seeking a richer understanding of conduct
that moves women to the margins of law and society.
