Details

This textbook combines pioneering feminist and queer judgements and statutes with critical and intersectional theories, to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of gender, sexuality and law. A diverse range of socio-legal experts set out the theoretical and legal foundations of the topic, before examining the ongoing struggle for rights and contemporary dissenting voices.

Key Features:

Inclusion of feminist and queer judgments and statutes linked to gender and sexuality
Accessible and detailed discussion of feminist and queer theory, and critical race theory
Discussion of the decriminalisation of homosexuality, consent and sexual violence, hate crime, sex work and pornography
Exploration of trans identities, relationship recognition rights, parenthood and reproduction, pregnancy and abortion, gender and the legal profession, and identities and employment

Accessibly written and carefully structured, this textbook is an important resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of gender, sexuality, feminist law and queer legal studies. It is also a crucial read for those studying law and society, criminology and cultural studies.
