Presenting feminist readings of texts from the legal philosophical
and jurisprudential canon, the papers collected here offer an
interdisciplinary and critical challenge to established modes of
reading law. Feminist approaches to law usually take the form of
either critical engagements with legal doctrine, legal concepts and
ideas, or critical assessments of the effects that specific areas
of law have upon the lives of women. This collection, however,
although rooted in feminist legal scholarship, takes the
established canon of legal texts as the object of inquiry. Taking
as their common starting point the fact that legal texts are plural
and open to multiple readings, all the contributions in this
collection offer subversive, but supplementary, interpretations of
the legal canon. In this respect, however, they do not merely
sustain an array of feminist styles and theories of reading;
revealing and re-appropriating the plural space of legal
interpretation, they seek to open a hitherto unexplored arena for a
feminist politics of law. Feminist Encounters with Legal Philosophy
is a thoroughly researched interdisciplinary collection that will
interest students and scholars of Law, Philosophy, and Feminism.
