Could a feminist perspective change the shape of tax laws? Feminist
reasoning and analysis are recognized as having tremendous
potential to affect employment discrimination, sexual harassment,
and reproductive rights laws - but they can likewise transform tax
law (as well as other statutory or code-based areas of the law). By
highlighting the importance of perspective, background, and
preconceptions on reading and interpreting statutes, this volume
shows what a difference feminist analysis can make to statutory
interpretation. Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Tax Opinions brings
together a group of scholars and lawyers to rewrite tax decisions
in which a feminist emphasis would have changed the outcome, the
court's reasoning, or the future direction of the law. Featuring
cases including medical expense deductions for fertility treatment,
gender confirmation surgery, tax benefits for married individuals,
the tax treatment of tribal lands, and business expense deductions,
this volume opens the way for a discussion of how viewpoint is a
key factor in statutory interpretation.
