Definición

  • Scholars usually date the inception of feminist legal studies—variably called feminist legal theory or feminist jurisprudence—to the early 1970s, when women's rights advocates first mounted an organized campaign in the courts against sex discrimination. Linked to the increasing number of women professors in U.S. law schools, the field developed rapidly and established close links with allied intellectual movements, most notably critical race theory and gay and lesbian studies.
