Feminist perspectives on land law

Description:

"Feminist Perspectives on Land Law draws upon the diverse disciplinary fields of law, anthropology and geography to open up perspectives that go beyond the usually narrow topography and cartography of land law. Addressing an unorthodox variety of sites where questions of women's access and rights to land are raised, this book includes chapters on shopping malls, ancient monuments, nature reserves and housing estates, as well as a consideration of the more conventional location of feminist debate in this area, the family home. The gendered analysis of land use and ownership that is pursued here focuses not only on England and Wales, but also reaches out to Botswana, Papua New Guinea and the Muslim world."--BOOK JACKET.
