Feminists have recently begun to challenge the powerful
influence of the law on the social and cultural construction of
women s roles, identities, and rights. At the Boundaries of Law is
a timely and path-breaking work that provides a series of
non-technical, interdisciplinary explorations into the nature and
effects of legal regulation on women s lives. Together the essays
examine the fertile and radically revisionary links between
feminism and legal theory.
But At the Boundaries of Law rejects the abstract grand
theorizing of traditional feminist legal theory, focusing instead
on the concrete and material implications of the legal injustices
endured by women. These essays emphasise the complex diversity of
female experience, collectively arguing for legal theory and
practice that both recognises and accommodates the concept of
difference in gender, class, race and sexual orientation.
At the Boundaries of Law also raises provocative questions about
the methodology and future of feminist legal theory itself. In its
rich variety of issues and approaches, this volume will command the
interest not only of legal theorists, but of those interested in
women s studies, philosophy, politics, sociology and history. It is
sure to set the future agenda for scholars, policymakers and anyone
concerned with the role of law in society.
