A law school textbook containing case law and commentary by feminist legal scholars. Compiled by Bartlett (Duke U. School of Law), Harris (U. of California at Berkeley School of Law), and Rhode (Stanford Law School), the text rejects the notion that women's issues can be separated from the general consideration of the implicit assumptions of legal thinking. While not ignoring women's issues such as rape, affirmative action, domestic violence, and job discrimination, the material prefers to look at the issues through theoretical windows related to legal subordination, formal equality, substantive equality, nonsubordination, autonomy, and anti-essentialism.
