Reconfiguring Sex, Gender, And The Law Of Marriage, Deborah Widiss
Reconfiguring Sex, Gender, And The Law Of Marriage, Deborah Widiss
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This article brings together legal, historical, and social science research to analyze how couples allocate income-producing and domestic responsibilities. It develops a framework—what I call the marriage equation—that shows how sex-based classifications, (non-sex-specific) substantive marriage law, and gender norms interrelate to shape these choices.

Book Review. Abortion And Divorce In Western Law By Mary Ann Glendon, Lauren K. Robel
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In this book, Professor Mary Ann Glendon contends that the American commitment to individualism and rights has deprived our law of compassion in the areas of abortion and divorce. She argues that while western European countries tell their citizens that their decisions about family are important to the larger society, American law takes extreme and damaging positions that isolate people at times when the community has an interest in their acts.
