ABSTRACT
While feminism as a philosophical, political and critical approach has a far longer history, as a distinct scholarly contribution to law, feminist legal theory (FLT) is now well over three decades old. Those three decades have seen consolidation and renewal of its central concerns as well as remarkable growth, dynamism and change. This Companion aims to celebrate the strength of feminist legal thought, which is manifested in this dynamic combination of stability and change, as well as in the diversity of perspectives and methodologies, and the extensive range of subject matters, which are now included within its ambit. It provides an authoritative and scholarly review of contemporary feminist legal thought, and seeks to contribute to the ongoing development of some of its new approaches, perspectives and subject matters.
