Opis

In this book feminist scholars from a range of areas including international law, rights, citizenship, queer theory, constitutional law and migration studies bring fresh perspectives to gender and human rights. By relating women's international human rights to broader debates about feminism, rights and international society, this collection of essays both provides a sophisticated introduction to gender and human rights and offers a variety of fresh theoretical perspectives and methods.

Recenzje

[A] brilliant collection of essays...the essays in Knop's volume are essential reading for anyone interested in women's human rights - which, as the volume demonstrates, must include anyone interested in international human rights law.
