Originally published in 1985 Gender, Sex and the Law explores the way in which the law, at its various levels of jurisdiction, justifies its discrimination against women in terms of the physiological differences between the sexes. The book examines the wider and most pervasive consequences of this as it affects women in their legal status, their rights, obligations and duties and in their confrontation with the law. Whilst it focuses principally on the contemporary implications of this legal perception in the sphere of crime, work and medical practice, there is also discussion of the historical development of these attitudes. The book has appeal across subject boundaries, it sets out what was bothering feminists lawyers and activists in the 1980s, matters still bothering us today.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1985. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
