| description | The present study brings together critical perspectives of law in feminist studies and reflects on the contributions of these studies for contemporary legal thinking. To achieve this goal, it uses, as theoretical reference, the classification proposed by Lacey (2004) of the feminist legal studies. This paper is also part of research stream that is still in its infancy, in Brazil, and relatively recent in the philosophy of law scholarship, to integrate feminist theories in philosophical and legal debates and to investigate law based on the women's disadvantaged position in society. Conclusions show that a critical view of law and the expansion of freedom and equality depend on deepening gender issues analysis. Feminist legal theories offer those alternative contributions. |
