Feminist Jurisography: Law, History, Writing

Feminist Jurisography explores the relationship between feminist and legal thought, demonstrating how disciplinary methods were transformed and how relations between people and place, and between law and humanities, were transferred from the periphery to the center of contemporary scholarship. It experiments with genre, style, and form to historicize the relationship of a feminist jurisprudent to her sources, methods, and interlocutors, and exemplifies why naming a practice for yourself is an acknowledgment of relations of difference, collaboration, and inheritance.

This comprehensive and thought-provoking book delves into the intricate relationship between feminist and legal thought, offering a rich jurisprudential exploration and methodological performance. Spanning six essays, it reintroduces official and unofficial jurisprudence writing from the late 20th century, showcasing how disciplinary methods underwent transformative changes and how the boundaries between people, place, and law shifted from the periphery to the center of contemporary scholarship. Through innovative genre, style, and form experiments, Feminist Jurisography historicizes the relationship between a feminist jurisprudent and her sources, methods, and interlocutors, emphasizing the overlooked contributions of feminist intellectuals from 1949 onwards in shaping interdisciplinary scholarship.

By naming a practice for oneself, the book acknowledges the complex relations of difference, collaboration, and inheritance while also performing the feminist tradition of intellectual self-assertion. This exploration is of immense value to scholars and students of law, humanities, feminism, and history, as well as to a broader audience interested in feminist ideas. The book will contribute significantly to contemporary conversations about the history and status of feminist contributions to these fields, enriching our understanding of the past and shaping the future of these disciplines.
