This textbook combines pioneering feminist and queer judgements and statutes with critical and intersectional theories, to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of gender, sexuality and law. A diverse range of socio-legal experts set out the theoretical and legal foundations of the topic, before examining the ongoing struggle for rights and contemporary dissenting voices.



Key Features:



  • Inclusion of feminist and queer judgments and statutes linked to gender and sexuality

  • Accessible and detailed discussion of feminist and queer theory, and critical race theory
  • Discussion of the decriminalisation of homosexuality, consent and sexual violence, hate crime, sex work and pornography

  • Exploration of trans identities, relationship recognition rights, parenthood and reproduction, pregnancy and abortion, gender and the legal profession, and identities and employment



Accessibly written and carefully structured, this textbook is an important resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of gender, sexuality, feminist law and queer legal studies. It is also a crucial read for those studying law and society, criminology and cultural studies.

Industry Reviews
'A textbook about gender and sexuality is welcome and long overdue. Uncompromising in its radical perspectives and wide ranging and accessible, this ground-breaking textbook brings together theoretical rigour with grounded practical applications and demonstrates the centrality of gender and sexuality to debates in family and criminal law, civil liberties and human rights. A key text for any law student interested in understanding and seeking tools and methods for thinking rigorously about law and social change.' -- Daniel Monk, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
