| Publisher Description: Child Custody, Law, and Women's Work examines the transformation in custody law over the past two centuries. Focusing on the relationship between law and changing gender relations, it also shows that the debates for legislative changes expected in the near future are rooted in gender-based dynamics within the family and society. Boyd uses a framework that makes central the persisting power relations between women and men in the heterosexual family as well as dominant ideologies about motherhood, fatherhood, and family. |
