It discusses the meaning of the right to legal capacity and its two core elements legal personhood and legal agency. It then analyses historical and modern denials of personhood and agency experienced by women, disabled women, and gender minorities for example, prohibitions from voting, limitations on contracting, loss of personhood upon marriage, and gender binary requirements leading to an inability to exercise legal capacity, amoung others. Using critical feminist, disability, and queer theory, this book also offers insights into the construction of legal personhood and its role as a predictor of power and privilege. The book identifies patterns of oppression through legal capacity denial in various jurisdictions and discusses situations in which modern law continues to enforce these denials. In addition, the book presents solutions: it identifies practices to learn from in various jurisdictions around the world including both civil law and common law jurisdictions. It also uses case studies to illustrate the ways in which existing laws, policies and practices could be reformed. As such, the book offers both a novel contribution to the field of legal capacity law and a tool for creating change and helping to realise the right to legal capacity for all. 001433572 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 10, 2021). 001433572 650_0 $$aWomen$$xLegal status, laws, etc. 001433572 650_0 $$aCapacity and disability. 001433572 650_0 $$aGender identity$$xLaw and legislation. 001433572 650_0 $$aPeople with disabilities$$xLegal status, laws, etc. 001433572 650_0 $$aSexual minorities$$xLegal status, laws, etc. 001433572 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433572 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aArstein-Kerslake, Anna.$$tLegal capacity & gender.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, [2021]$$z9783030634926$$w(OCoLC)1200581413 001433572 852__ $$bebk 001433572 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-63493-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433572 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433572$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433572 980__ $$aBIB 001433572 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433572 982__ $$aEbook 001433572 983__ $$aOnline 001433572 994__ $$a92$$bISE
