ABSTRACT
One might argue further that feminist legal theory in particular, like the law itself, is more concerned with justice, that justice is the fulcrum on which all matters turn. But freedom underlies even that concern: for what animates claims of justice are times when women are unfairly restrained from doing things they wish to do, whether that involves work, sexual reproduction, sexual expression, movement, travel, or bodily integrity (Hirschmann 2013). Freedom is thus the core of feminist legal theory, and extends to questions beyond the meaning of the concept to the panoply of questions raised throughout this book about justice, autonomy, equality, difference, and most significantly, power.
