This book integrates women's history and legal studies within the
broader context of modern European history in the late nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Sixteen contributions from fourteen
countries explore the ways in which the law contributes to the
social construction of gender. They analyze questions of family law
and international law and highlight the politics of gender in the
legal professions in a variety of historical, social and national
settings, including Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern and
Central Europe. Focusing on different legal cultures, they show us
the similarities and differences in the ways the law has shaped the
contours of women and men's lives in powerful ways. They also show
how women have used legal knowledge to struggle for their equal
rights on the national and transnational level. The chapters
address the interconnectedness of the history of feminism,
legislative reforms, and women's citizenship, and build a
foundation for a comparative vision of women's legal history in
modern Europe.
