Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Gender and Careers in the Legal Academy by Edited by Ulrike Schultz Edited by Gisela Shaw Edited by Professor Margaret Thornton Edited by Professor Rosemary Auchmuty
Over the past fifteen years there has been a marked increase in international scholarship relating to the lives and careers of women in legal practice and the judiciary but the central conundrum remains: Does the presence of women make a difference? What has been largely overlooked in the literature is the position of women in the legal academy. To remedy this an international network of scholars embarked on a comparative study which resulted in this ground-breaking book. The contributors uncover fascinating accounts of the careers of academic pioneers and explore broader theoretical issues relating to gender and culture.
