Books by Carol Smart

Carol Smart presents a new gendered analysis of the power of law and argues for a feminist post- structuralist approach. She comments on pornography, as well as discussing recent research on rape trials and abortion legislation.

This text examines the following trends: the shift from criminology to the sociology of law; law as a site of struggle rather than as a tool of reform; the contested nature of "woman" as a category; and the significance of feminists debating about values and epistemologies.
