Exploring the relationship between gender and law in Europe from the nineteenth century to the present, this collection examines the feminisation of justice, its historical beginnings, and the impact of gendered constructions on jurisprudence. Every chapter addresses these issues from the point of view of women's legal history or gendered legal cultures. With contributions from scholars with expertise in the major regions of Europe, this book is sensitive to the intersection of gender theory, legal studies and public policy, and is based on historical methodologies.
Eva Schandevyl is Assistant Professor of modern history at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. She is the editor of 'In haar recht? Vrouwe Justitia feministisch bekeken' (VUB Press, 2009) and author of 'Tussen revolutie en conformisme. Het engagement en de netwerken van linkse intellectuelen in België 1918-1956' (VUB Press, 2011). Her articles on the history of law and gender, social and intellectual history, and migration have appeared in 'European Review of History', 'National Identities and Revue Belge de Philologie et d'Histoire'. She is presently working on a comparative project that examines the feminisation of justice in the twentieth century.
