‘A textbook about gender and sexuality is welcome and long overdue. Uncompromising in its radical perspectives and wide ranging and accessible, this ground-breaking textbook brings together theoretical rigour with grounded practical applications and demonstrates the centrality of gender and sexuality to debates in family and criminal law, civil liberties and human rights. A key text for any law student interested in understanding and seeking tools and methods for thinking rigorously about law and social change.’
