Gretchen Ritter

The Constitution as Social Design

Gender and Civic Membership in the American Constitutional Order

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"In this original and exciting new book, Gretchen Ritter provides the first thorough gender-centered account of the way the United States Constitution was formulated and has evolved. The book is cleverly organized in terms of themes through which the post-Nineteenth Amendment Constitution has defined gender and the citizenship status of women in the United States. The Constitution as Social Design is a major work of scholarship and constitutional interpretation. It will become required reading for all scholars working in law and politics, gender studies, and American political development."--Desmond King, University of Oxford "Ritter successfully argues that seeing the constitution as social design rather than merely a charter for rights allows us to reinterpret the meaning of citizenship. This book is a significant contribution to gender studies, constitutional history, and U.S. political development."--Julie Novkov, University of Oregon
