Feminist legal theory is one of the most dynamic fields in the law,
and it affects issues ranging from child custody to sexual
harassment. Since its initial publication in 2006, Feminist Legal
Theory: A Primer has received rave reviews. Now, in the completely
updated second edition of this outstanding primer, Nancy Levit and
Robert R.M. Verchick introduce the diverse strands of feminist
legal theory and discuss an array of substantive legal topics,
pulling in recent court decisions, new laws, and important shifts
in culture and technology. The book centers on feminist legal
theories, including equal treatment theory, cultural feminism,
dominance theory, critical race feminism, lesbian feminism,
postmodern feminism, and ecofeminism. Readers will find new
material on women in politics, gender and globalization, and the
promise and danger of expanding social media. Updated statistics
and empirical analysis appear throughout. The authors, prominent
experts in the field, also address feminist legal methods, such as
consciousness-raising and storytelling. The primer offers an
accessible and pragmatic approach to feminist legal theory. It
demonstrates the ways feminist legal theory operates in real-life
contexts, including domestic violence, reproductive rights,
workplace discrimination, education, sports, pornography, and
global issues of gender. The authors highlight a sweeping range of
cutting-edge topics at the intersection of law and gender, such as
single-sex schools, abortion, same-sex marriage, rape on college
campuses, and international trafficking in women and girls. At its
core, Feminist Legal Theory shows the importance of the roles of
law and feminist legal theory in shaping contemporary gender
issues.
