Feminist Jurisography

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Scholarship of law in the 21st century demands openness to diversity, attention to ethics, methodological reflectiveness, and above all an ability to reimagine our legal worlds in new ways. Ann Genovese meets these challenges with her highly imaginative and self-reflective book. Feminist Jurisography offers readers an entirely fresh approach to the writing of law as a writing of life. Throughout, the need to experiment with writing, with life, and with ideas is emphasised and the result is a highly engaging account of feminist legal writing as a practice as well as of the writer's journey with and experiences of a vast, sometimes eclectic, and always fascinating oeuvre." Margaret Davies, Flinders University, Australia.

"Feminist Jurisography is a wonderfully radical, innovative, and imaginative text. It explores the relationship between feminism, law, history and writing in an intensely personal manner that has implications for all of us. In tracing the emergence and obligations of the feminist jurisographer, Genovese suggests an intellectual approach for the future." Ann Curthoys, University of Sydney, Australia.

"A powerful and refreshingly original approach to reading and writing about law. Grounded in the analysis of key feminist texts, such as de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, Feminist Jurisography heralds a novel way of making sense of the world from a feminist perspective." Margaret Thornton, Emerita Professor, Australian National University.
