Indeks : p.333 - 342 To explain how constitutions shape and are shaped by women's lives, the contributors to this book examine constitutional cases pertaining to women in twelve countries. Analyzing jurisprudence about reproductive, sexual, familial, socioeconomic, and democratic rights, they focus constructively on women's claims to equality, asking who makes these claims, what constituional rights inform them, how they have evolved, what arguments work in defending them, and how they related to other nation issues. Their findings reveal significant similarities in outcomes and in reasoning about women's constitutional rights in these twelve countries, challenging the tradition of distinguishing constitutional juridprudence depending on whether the country has a written or unwritten constitution, subcribes to civil or common law, is a federal or unitary states, limits constitutional adjudication to the public rather than also including the private domain, accords international norms binding or subject to incorporation force, or relies on a specialized or general court to adjudicate constitutional matters.
