Beskrivning
Courts can play an important role in addressing issues of inequality, discrimination and gender injustice for women. The feminisation of the judiciary - both in its thin meaning of women's entrance into the profession, as well as its thicker forms of realising gender justice - is a core part of the agenda for gender equality. This volume acknowledges both the diversity of meanings of the feminisation of the judiciary, as well as the complexity of the social and cultural realisation of gender equality. Containing original empirical studies, this book demonstrates the past and present challenges women face to entering the judiciary and progressing their career, as well as when and why they advocate for women's issues while on the bench. From stories of pioneering women to sector-wide institutional studies of the gender composition of the judiciary, this book reflects on the feminisation of the judiciary in the Asia-Pacific.

Recensioner i media

'Moving beyond demographic description, Crouch brings together crucial scholarship on the possibilities for thick feminism when the judiciary gets substantially (and sustainably) feminized. Using accounts across sites, this volume considers the structural conditions that realize and resist women's accession to these positions of power, as well as their complicated individual narratives of success while navigating these conditions. In doing so, it forces us to (re)consider the location of the global south and its actors in legal profession scholarship.' Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen, University of California
