Series: Feminist Perspectives

The book raises and examines critical issues from a feminist perspective in an area of land law which remains, for too many of us, an area of boredom and unreflexive, undigested rule regurgitation. It should, in fact, be no surprise that feminists have very specific concerns in this area, most obviously in relation to the family home. Whilst the topic of the family home and domestic property is addressed, this volume also displays the wide range of feminist work in relation to property, especially land, and draws from other disciplines (especially anthropology and social geography) as well as legal scholarship to provide a set of topics (including access to shopping malls, the needs of travellers and the impact of registration of title to land, etc) and a range of feminist insights which will provide a valuable resource for all scholars and students interested in property in land and/or feminist work.
