The idea that constitutions are gendered is not new, but its
recognition is the product of a revolution in thinking that began
in the last decades of the twentieth century. As a field, it is
attracting scholarly attention and influencing practice around the
world. This timely Handbook features contributions from leading
pioneers and younger scholars, applying a gendered lens to
constitution-making and design, constitutional practice and
citizenship, and constitutional challenges to gender equality
rights and values. Offering cutting-edge perspective on the
constitutional text and record of multiple jurisdictions, from
long-established to newly emerging democracies, Constitutions and
Gender portrays a profound shift in our understanding of what
constitutions stand for and what they do. Its central insight is
that democratic constitutions must serve the needs and aspirations
of all the people, and constitutional legitimacy requires
opportunities for participation in both the fashioning and
functioning of a country's constitution. This challenging
assessment is of relevance to scholars and practitioners of law and
politics, and gender and feminism as well as practitioners and
advisers involved in constitution-making. Contributors include: C.
