This book is a collection of essays written during the 1980s and 1990s, generated as parts of other, larger activist efforts going on at the time. Read together, the essays trace the progress of the conversations between different activist groups, and between the authors of the pieces, Lisa Duggan and Nan Hunter, creating a bridge between feminists, gay activists, those in politics, and those in the law. Since the 1995 publication of Sex Wars, the political landscape has altered significantly. Yet the issues (and essays) are still relevant today. The anniversary edition contains a new chapter dealing with the changes in the law since the book's publication (Lawrence v. Texas, for example).
This tenth anniversary edition addresses the on-going debate surrounding feminism and sexuality, highlighting the major events that have shaped public debates around sexuality since 1995, including Lawrence vs. Texas and the rights of same sex couples in Massachusetts.
This is the 2009 Supplement, updates Eskridge and Hunter's Sexuality, Gender, and the Law, 2d Edition. It features edited cases and original text released since the casebook.
