Shades of Grey - Domestic and Sexual Violence Against Women: Law Reform and Society

by Patricia Easteal and Anna Carline

Book Overview

Arguing that law must be looked at holistically, this book investigates the 'hidden gender' of the so-called neutral or objective legal principles that structure the law addressing violence against women. Adopting an explicitly feminist perspective, it investigates how legal responses to violence against women presuppose, maintain and perpetuate a certain context that may not in fact reflect women's experiences.
