Feminist Perspectives on Law : Law's Engagement with the Female Body

This socio-legal text examines the interaction between law and women's lives, particularly in relation to legal regulation of the female body. This text comprises extracts from case law and statute, as well as from feminist legal texts and interdisciplinary writings. The authors explore these materials in an ongoing commentary connecting the textual extracts and raising questions and problems for consideration. Highly contextual in approach, the study integrates legal, philosophical, comparative and EC aspects.
