| dc.description.abstract | Subversive Sites explores the history of feminist engagement with law and legal rights in India. Asking whether law has been a subversive site, it argues that the legacy of law reform and rights engagement has been complex and contradictory. Subversive Sites explores both the limitations and possibilities of using law in women's struggles for social change. argues that law has been a site of discursive struggle over gender, tradition and culture. In examining the role of familial ideology in the legal regulation of women, it explores the extent to which women's identities as wives and mothers has limited the promise of legal equality. | en_US |
