Regulating Womanhoodby Carol Smart
Taylor & Francis 2002; US$ 59.95This 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.
