Feminist Perspectives on Land Law

Feminist Perspectives on Land Law draws upon the diverse disciplinary fields of law, anthropology and geography to open up perspectives that go beyond the usually narrow topography and cartography of land law. Addressing an unorthodox variety of sites where questions of women's access and rights to land are raised, this book includes chapters onshopping malls, ancient monuments, nature reserves and housing estates,as well as a consideration of the more conventional location for feminist debate in this area, the family home. The gendered analysis of land use and ownership that is pursued here focuses not only on England and Wales, but also reaches out to Botswana, Papua New Guinea and the Muslim world. And it is in exploring such new terrain, in conjunction with old pathways, that Feminist Perspectives on Land Law constitutes an original and critical approach to the intersection between law and land.Lim, Hilary is the author of 'Feminist Perspectives on Land Law ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415420334 and ISBN 0415420334.
