ABSTRACT

Previous collections of essays on equity and trusts law have focused on doctrinal issues, only occasionally giving a policy gloss or suggestion of social context and impact. Although a critical approach can be glimpsed in journal articles and student texts, this collection of essays draws together both feminist and critical material.


It is unique in being written by feminists, in dealing with equity and trusts as a whole and in being written in the critical tradition.
