This book analyzes estates and trusts cases through a feminist lens using some of the most popular feminist legal theories.
This book analyzes estates and trusts cases through a feminist lens to demonstrate how the law has limited the property rights of women and other marginalized groups. This book will be useful to law students learning to read cases and to anyone else interested in understanding ways in which the law has been applied inequitably.For women and other marginalized groups, the reality is that the laws regulating estates and trusts may not be treating them fairly. By using popular feminist legal theories as well as their own definitions of feminism, the authors of this volume present rewritten opinions from well-known estates and trust cases. Covering eleven important cases, this collection reflects the diversity in society and explores the need for greater diversity in the law. By re-examining these cases, the contributors are able to demonstrate how women's property rights, as well as the rights of other marginalized groups, have been limited by the law.
