Summary
"Law as a Gendering Practice examines the diverse and contradictory ways that law constrains and enables womanhood. While they focus on diverse aspects of law, all of the contributors address the same issues: how legal struggles over meanings about gender are reproduced, legitimized, and refashioned."--BOOK JACKET.
