  • Regulating Womanhoodby Carol Smart

    Taylor & Francis 2002; US$ 59.95

    This collection of original essays looks at a topic of growing interest and debate in feminist and historical circles: the social regulation of women through law during the 19th and 20th centuries, and the resistance which emerged in response.

This book should be of interest to students of women's studies, sociology of law, and social policy. more...
