In Scandinavia, women's law was established as a distinct legal
discipline in university teaching and legal scholarship in the mid
1970'ies. The University of Oslo (Norway) played a particularly
pioneering role. At that time, there was general terminological
agreement: the name of the discipline was kvinnerett in Norwegian,
Kvinderet in Danish and kvinnoratt in Swedish. During the last 40
years, Scandinavian Women's law has been mainstreamed into the
general development of European law on gender equality and
discrimination. The editors have chosen to keep the old terminology
in the title of this book in order to point to the historical
background of present day gender and law studies from Scandinavia.
The European Union has pursued a strong gender equality and
non-discrimination agenda since the 1970'ies. Denmark entered the
EU 1 January 1973, Sweden and Finland 1 January 1995, Norway is not
a member. Scandinavian women's law as developed through the last 40
years and EU gender equality law are thus contemporaries. Because
of the direct effect and supremacy of EU law over national law, the
interplay between elements of law stemming from EU-level and from
national level has been particularly important in the Nordic
EU-member states (Denmark, Sweden and Finland).
