Feminist Perspectives on Health Care Law by Sally Sheldon
This book brings together new work by some of the foremost writers in the health care law arena. It presents exciting new insights,drawing on feminist theory and methodology to further our understanding of health care law. Whilst the book makes a real contribution to both feminist debates and the analysis of this area of law, it is also accessible to the undergraduate student who is approaching this area of legal scholarship and feminist jurisprudence for the first time. Its focus is not merely on those issues which have traditionally excited feminist attention, but also includes those subjects which have proved of less apparent interest such as confidentiality, medical research, medical negligence and professional discipline.
'The book ably demonstrates not only the diversity of topics which are encompassed within 'health care law', but also the diversity of opinions and views which are present within the subject, albeit that the writers were charged with considering their chosen topics from a feminist perspectiveAfetr reading this volume, it may be that the reader is left with more questions than answers about feminist perspectives on health care law, but this is no bad thing. Indeed, it is a fitting testament to this excellent collection. ' Child and Family Law Quaterly, Vol 12, No 1, 2000.
