Description
Postmodern legal feminism is a movement that seeks to understand the law through a postmodern lens. This means that they look at the law from a perspective that is critical and skeptical. They also believe that the law is shaped by the politics and culture of the time in which it is created. This means that the law can be oppressive to women and that there is a need for feminism to rethink how it approaches the law. Mary Joe Frug is a postmodern legal feminist and she has written a book that discusses this movement and its goals.
Mary Joe Frug charts a course for future feminist thinking about law. She identifies the political and theoretical limitations of earlier strands of legal feminism and demonstrates why postmodernism offers more hope for women in law.
