Produktbeschreibung
The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States provides a wide-ranging exploration of U.S. legal feminism, analyzing both prominent brands of feminist legal theory and key feminist social movements. The Handbook's chapters examine the influence that legal feminism has exerted on law, from the creation of feminist claims such as sexual harassment and gender equity in sports to new understandings of consent, motherhood, and reproductive justice. Contributions from leading feminist thinkers dissect the backlash to feminism and compare feminism to adjacent discourses including queer theory and masculinities theory. The Handbook is also forward-looking insofar as it imagines how legal feminism will affect emerging areas like digital privacy, immigration law, and environmental law. Thanks to its expansive scope and highly-regarded team of editors and contributors, The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States will be an essential source for scholars and students working in a range of interconnected fields.
