Recenzii

This book shatters traditional legal discourse by breaking down the doctrinal framework which underpins the gendered nature of law. … Graycar and Morgan proffer a new analytical framework through a presentation of feminist legal theory as something which can be appropriately adapted to change with the times. In other words, it is not a static framework. … The authors have collated a formidable array of primary and secondary material that exposes the gendered nature of traditional legal theory and the boundaries and barriers imposed by this traditional approach to the law. This book is an attempt to break down these barriers. This book is an excellent starting point for students, academics and practitioners alike. The text is well written. The message is confronting for the establishment and is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. The reader is not given one particular point of view, rather they are left to make up their own mind. A must read for those students, academics and practitioners not afraid to challenge their beliefs and assumptions. Melanie Jose. Ethos (ACT Law Society), Dec 2004 Graycar and Morgan pose fundamental questions as to the impact of the law on women and their participation in society. They are questions to which every lawyer should attempt an answer. Many of the questions do not permit a single correct answer, but an understanding of the problems posed by Graycar and Morgan is a most important step along the road to equal justice for women and, ultimately, to equal justice for all. Justice Mary Gaudron, High Court of Australia, from the Foreword This innovative book starts from the premise that women's lives are central to the operation of law and that legal categories and legal doctrines have been developed in such a way that women have been disadvantaged. While the book's authors are Australian and it draws extensively on Australian examples, it has much to say to anyone seeking to use the law to pursue equality and eradicate disadvantage, in Canada and elsewhere. The Hidden Gender of Law makes a wonderful contribution to reconceptualising law in the twenty-first century. The Hon Madame Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dub, Supreme Court of Canada
