This unique text offers a discussion of one of the most important movements in legal scholarship today: feminist legal theory. The first of two volumes, "Foundations" examines theoretical issues about the interaction between law and gender. The second volume will explore the application of feminist legal theory to specific substantive areas of the law, such as criminal law, family law, employment law, and the legal profession. In this first volume, thirty-eight articles by distinguished legal scholars and feminists address issues of equality, difference, separate spheres, essentialism, legal methodology, and theories of law. The essays, published in widely dispersed legal publications, are thematically arranged, with introductions by the editor, to provide a text for students, a convenient source for scholars and policy makers, and a comprehensive introduction for general readers. D. Kelly Weisberg is Professor of Law at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. She has published several other books, including "Child, Family and State: Cases and Materials on Children and the Law" (co-authored with Robert Mnookin).

Review
"Every social scientist interested in women's issues needs this invaluable collection."
—Barbara Bergmann
—Barbara Bergmann
"D. Kelly Weisberg's distinguished volume will provide one-stop shopping for newspaper editors, scholars, political activists, and public officials who want to learn how gender analysis applies to legal thought."
—Barbara J. Nelson, University of Minnesota
—Barbara J. Nelson, University of Minnesota
"Feminist jurisprudence is the cauldron in which some of the most creative feminist thoughts are brewing. Their release into our sociopolitical environment will bring us somewhat closer to creating a legal system in which the interests of all persons are indeed regarded with equal respect and consideration. Anglo-American law has been in need of a feminist transformation for some time. Weisberg's anthology suggests that the moment of metamorphosis is upon us."
—Rosemarie Tong, Thatcher Professor in Philosophy and Medical Humanities, Davidson College

This review is from: Feminist Legal Theory: Foundations (Women In The Political Economy) (Paperback)
The book is good and was shipped unbelievably fast, but I would never wish Feminist Legal Theory lecture on my worst enemy.
