Women and the Law

Women and the Law Synopsis

Organized around three central topics of work, family, and body, this book reflects a multiplicity of feminist stances and critiques. Highlights include treatment of same-sex marriage developments; sustained treatment of perspectives and problems affecting women of color; contemporary assessments of sexual harassment law; expanded treatment of women and the labor market, the economics of divorce, pornography, and prostitution; federal civil rights and state tort law responses to domestic violence; and current regulation of women's reproductive decisions and critiques of reproductive technologies.
