This volume draws on several decades of advocacy for law reform to
advance gender equality. The essays illustrate the evolution of
dominant theoretical approaches and trace their application to core
issues, such as the meaning of gender, family formation and roles,
equality in the workplace, reproductive rights and violence. The
selections are international in their range and include recent
works that summarize foundational discussions as well as less
well-known articles and essays which capture defining issues with
enduring resonance. Taken together, these articles form the basis
for discussions of recurring themes such as: how best to define and
account for biological, social or cultural differences based on
gender; how the law can recognize historic and ongoing gender
subordination while supporting individuals' autonomy and agency;
and the nature and role of women's sexuality. They exemplify the
ongoing dialectic between well-intentioned reform and unintended
consequences that characterizes ongoing efforts to advance equality
based on gender.
