Reaction and Resistance: Feminism, Law, and Social Change Hardcover - 2007

by Dorothy E. Chunn (Editor)


From the publisher

In this timely volume, contributors from various disciplines analyze reaction and resistance to feminism in several areas of law and policy - child custody, child poverty, sexual harassment, and sexual assault - and in a number of institutional sites, such as courts, legislatures, families, the mainstream media, and the academy. Collectively, their studies paint a complicated, often contradictory, picture of feminism, law, and social change, offering feminists and activists empirically grounded knowledge to develop legal and political strategies for change.

Description:
Hardback. New. The image of "backlash" is pervasive in contemporary debates about the impact of second-wave feminism on law and policy, but systematic research on the subject is lacking. This book addresses that gap and analyzes late 20th-century responses to feminism, and asks: to what extent does the concept of backlash explain reactions to feminism over time?
