Rewriting the Rules

Ramona Vijeyarasa is Professor of Law at the University of Technology Sydney. She is author of The Woman President: Leadership, Law and Legacy for Women Based on Experiences from South and Southeast Asia and Sex, Slavery and the Trafficked Woman: Myths and Misconceptions about Trafficking and Its Victims.

“Vijeyarasa’s book, . . . is a broad-ranging international survey of laws with particular ramifications for gender. Topics covered include familiar issues of concern to feminist scholars, such as gender-based violence, parental leave, and corporate quotas, as well as issues that are less familiar, including modern slavery, small-scale mining, gender-responsive budgeting and artificial intelligence.”
