'This timely book is the first in a series of Research Handbooks in Comparative Constitutional Law from Edward Elgar, which also produces a series ofResearch Handbooks in Comparative Law. This volume is the first of these handbooks to focus on gender. The editor, Helen Irving - professor of law at the Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney, Australia - has compiled 19 impressive chapters that serve as a corrective to the marginalisation of women's experiences that is usually the case in most collections, which may have little or no coverage of gender issues.'--Gender and Development
