The goal of the editors in this volume is to build on, and empirically flesh out, the feminist argument that law cannot be thought of as simply a determining force in the defining of 'woman;' it must be thought of as a site of struggle. The editors and contributors explore and analyze law as
a 'gendering practice," assuming that law is a practice that interacts with other practices to produce meanings about gender.
