Introduces the diverse strands of feminist legal theory and the array of substantive legal issues relevant to women's and gender studies. This book centers on feminist legal theories - including equal treatment theory, cultural feminism, dominance theory, critical race feminism, lesbian feminism, postmodern feminism, and ecofeminism.

In this work, the author analyzes the ways in which law legitimizes the social segregation of the sexes through legal decisions and illustrates the ways in which men's and women's oppressions are intertwined and how law molds the very definition of masculinity.
