About the book
What would United States Supreme Court opinions look like if key decisions on gender issues were written with a feminist perspective Feminist Judgments brings together a group of scholars and lawyers to rewrite using feminist reasoning the most significant US Supreme Court cases on gender from the 1800s to the present day.
