Combining analyses of feminist legal theory, legal doctrine, and
feminist social movements, The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law
in the United States offers a comprehensive overview of U.S. legal
feminism. Contributions by leading feminist thinkers trace the
impacts of legal feminism on legal claims and defenses and
demonstrate how feminism has altered and transformed understandings
of basic legal concepts, from sexual harassment and gender equity
in sports to new conceptions of consent and motherhood. Its
chapters connect legal feminism to adjacent intellectual
discourses, such as masculinities theory and queer theory, and
scrutinize criticisms and backlash to feminism from all sides of
the political spectrum. Its examination of the prominent brands of
feminist legal theory shows the links and divergences among
feminist scholars, highlighting the continued relevance of
established theories (liberal, dominance, and relational feminism)
and the increased importance of new intersectional, sex-positive,
and postmodern approaches. Unique in its triple focus on theory,
doctrine, and social movements, the Handbook recounts the history
of activist struggles to pass the Equal Right Amendment, the
Anti-Rape and Battered Movements of the 1970s, the contemporary
movements for reproductive justice and against campus sexual
assault, as well as the #MeToo movement. The emphasis on theory and
feminist practice animates discussions of feminist legal pedagogy
and feminist influences on judges and judicial decision making.
Chapters on emerging areas of law ripe for feminist analysis
explore foundational subjects such as contracts, tax, and tort law,
and imagine feminist and social justice approaches to digital
privacy and intellectual property law, environmental law, and
immigration law. The Handbook provides a broad picture of the
intellectual landscape and allows both new and established scholars
to gain an in-depth understanding of the full range of feminist
influence on U.S. law.
