Feminism And International Law: An Opportunity For Transformation, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks Jan 2002

Feminism And International Law: An Opportunity For Transformation, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In the wake of September 11, a robust feminist engagement with international law and policy is more urgent than ever before.
