"Feminist Perspectives on Law" is a socio-legal text which examines the interaction between law and women's lives, particularly in relation to legal regulation of the female body. It comprises extracts from feminist legal texts and interdisciplinary writings, case law and legislation, which the authors explore through an ongoing commentary. It seeks to identify the points of connection between the law and women's lives, the role of the law in perpetuating the disadvantageous position of women, and the limitations as well as possibilities for the creative use of law in bringing about change in teh lives of women in the areas under construction.

Law's Engagement with the Female Body

Feminist Perspectives on Law

Public law scholarship in the UK is fracturing. Based on the perception that feminist scholarship can provide public lawyers with the critical tools and insights, this collection begins a dialogue between public law and feminism by offering a range of perspectives on contemporary public law themes and topics.

This collection examines the opportunities and challenges, rights and wrongs, and prospects and risks of Brexit from the perspectives of gender and sexuality. While much has been written about Brexit from legal, political, social and economic perspectives, there has been little analysis of the effects of Brexit on women and gender/sexual minorities who have historically been marginalised and whose voices have been less audible in political debates – both nationally and at the European level. The collection explores how Brexit might change the equality, human rights and social justice landscape, but from the viewpoint of women and gender/sexual minorities. The contributions gathered in it demonstrate the variety of ways that Brexit will make a difference to the lives of women and individuals marginalised because of gender or sexual identity.
