Visible Women: Essays on Feminist Legal Theory and Political PhilosophySusan James, Stephanie Palmer Hart Publishing, 2002 - 203 pages How should feminist theories conceive of the subject? What is it to be a legal person? What part does embodiment play in subjectivity? Can there be a conception of rights which does justice to the social contexts in which rights claims are embedded? Is the way the law constitutes legal subjects a form of violence? These questions lie at the heart of contemporary feminist theory,and in this collection they are addressed by a group of distinguished international scholars working in law, philosophy and politics. |
