About the book
"This book considers what needs to be taken into account in writing a constitution when gender equity and agency are goals. It does so by examining principles of constitutionalism, constitutional jurisprudence, and history and applying a "gender audit" to existing constitutions. In addressing such issues, the book eschews a simple focus on equality rights and examines consitutional language, interpretation, structures, and distribution of power, rules of citizenship, processes of representation, and the constitutional recognition of international and customary law. Its discussion of rights treats equality rights and reproductive rights as distinct issues for constitutional design."--P. [ii].
