Summary:

"Two feminist lawyers reflect on gender in international law to set out what a gendered peace might look like and its impact on international law. In order to challenge orthodoxies, the book takes an unconventional approach, merging personal reflections, expert essays, and interviews. It draws on international law, gender studies, international relations, and history. The authors challenge the reader to unlearn international law, in order to relearn it in a way that makes it more fit for purpose in the contemporary world. This work is a clarion call to think about international law in a new and transformative way"--Adapted from the publisher's description.
