Her research promotes the case of feminist legal history as a way of revealing the place of women and challenging dominant historical narratives that cast them aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust as Rosemary’s work does, \u003cem\u003eWomen, Their Lives, and the Law\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to end the marginalisation and exclusion of women in the legal world by including them. The book begins fittingly with a discussion of Miss Bebb, the woman whose biography Auchmuty deployed to push feminist legal history into the mainstream. It turns then to a discussion of women known and unknown and their struggles within the legal profession, offering within those chapters a critical appraisal of the role of history and biography as a methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there it moves to consider feminist perspectives and critiques of the dominant structures of private law. This is followed by chapters that explore those who educate the legal profession within the academy. The chapters, and the collection as a whole, examine areas of law that have a deep significance for women’s lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601398612204,"sku":"9781509962082","price":398.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509962082-women-their-lives-and-the-law.jpg?v=1777999320","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/women-their-lives-and-the-law-9781509962082","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
