Gender in Constitutional Law is a comprehensive three-volume collection of formative and influential scholarship in a dynamic area of legal development and social change. Compiling theoretical, empirical, and practical analyses from leading scholars, judges, and nongovernmental organizations around the world, these volumes are comparative and international in range, representative in content, and illuminating in depth. Particular attention is paid to intersectionality, culture, and custom.

Mapped by an accessible, incisive introductory chapter, the collection provides basic sources and cutting-edge guidance in constitutional processes. The assembled curated works, together with the introduction, offer an invaluable cross-disciplinary research tool for generalists and specialists, scholars and practitioners, thinkers and activists, students, teachers, individuals and groups alike.
