Gender and Justice

Why Women in the Judiciary Really Matter

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Intended for use in courses on law and society, as well as courses in women 's and gender studies, women and politics, and women and the law, this book explores different questions in different North American and European geographical jurisdictions and courts, demonstrating the value of a gender analysis of courts, judges, law, institutions, organizations, and, ultimately, politics. Gender and Judging argues empirically for both more women and more feminists on the bench, while demonstrating that achieving these two aims are independent projects.
