Preferred term

feminist legal theory  

Definition

  • Political theories that examine the fundamental structure of the law and have ramifications for the practice and application of the law are known as jurisprudence (Smith 1993, 483). Feminist jurisprudence holds that the law has been written primarily by men and reflects male life patterns and ideologies. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Feminist Legal Theory]
