The book aims to assess the impact that feminism has had upon family law and to examine specific areas of family law from a feminist perspective. It is deliberately broad in scope, as it takes the view that family law cannot be defined in a traditional way. In addition to issues of longstanding concern for feminists, it looks at issues of current legal and political preoccupation, such as civil partnerships, homesharing, reproductive technologies and new initiatives in regulating family practices through the criminal law (domestic violence and youth justice).
