Does gender make a difference to the way the judiciary works and
should work? Or is gender-blindness a built-in prerequisite of
judicial objectivity? If gender does make a difference, how might
this be defined? These are the key questions posed in this
collection of essays, by some 30 authors from the following
countries; Argentina, Cambodia, Canada, England, France, Germany,
India, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands,
the Philippines, South Africa, Switzerland, Syria and the United
States. The contributions draw on various theoretical approaches,
including gender, feminist and sociological theories. The book's
pressing topicality is underlined by the fact that well into the
modern era male opposition to women's admission to, and progress
within, the judicial profession has been largely based on the
argument that their very gender programmes women to show empathy,
partiality and gendered prejudice - in short essential qualities
running directly counter to the need for judicial objectivity. It
took until the last century for women to begin to break down such
seemingly insurmountable barriers. And even now, there are a number
of countries where even this first step is still waiting to happen.
In all of them, there remains a more or less pronounced glass
ceiling to women's judicial careers.
