Half a century after the beginning of the second wave, feminist
legal theorists are still writing about many of the subjects they
addressed early on: money, sex, reproduction, and jobs. What has
changed is the way that they talk about these subjects.
Specifically, these theorists now posit a more complex and nuanced
conception of power. Recent scholarship recognizes the complexities
of power in contemporary society, the ways in which these
complexities entrench sex inequality, and the role that law can
play in reducing inequality and increasing agency. The feminist
legal theorists in this volume are emblematic of this effort. They
carefully examine the relationship between gender, equality, and
power across an array of realms: sex, reproduction, pleasure, work,
money. In doing so they identify social, political, economic,
developmental, and psychological and somatic forces, operating both
internally and externally, that complicate the expression and
constraint of power. Finally, they give sophisticated thought to
the possibilities for legal interventions in light of these more
complex notions of power.
