Law as a Gendering PracticeDorothy E. Chunn, Dany Lacombe The goal of the editors in this volume is to build on, and empirically flesh out, the feminist argument that law cannot be thought of as simply a determining force in the defining of 'woman;' it must be thought of as a site of struggle. The editors and contributors explore and analyze law as a 'gendering practice," assuming that law is a practice that interacts with other practices to produce meanings about gender. |
