Equity is a multi-faceted subject, an authentic crossroads of problems. The perspective of this study is, as a result, a mix of focuses, which includes: the philosophy of law, general legal theory, justice theory, the history of law, comparative law, legal dogma, etc. In this book, as in various earlier studies of the author, she uses the "three-dimensional" method, which facilitates a stratified focus in agreement with three levels: facts, norms, and values. The subject of equity has never been analysed as completely as in this work. It includes a dynamic study of the different types of equity throughout history and in the different legal systems; the concept, content, limits, functions and types of equity; the relationship between equity and related ideas, and equity in all the branches of the legal order.
Con ocasión de la polémica feminista que tuvo lugar en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, la periodista madrileña Margarita Nelken (1894-1968) preconizó la reforma de aquellas normas jurídicas y usos sociales que, por su cariz androcéntrico, discriminaban a la mujer española. En aras de mejorar la condición femenina y, por ende, de equilibrar las relaciones de poder entre ambos sexos, promovió la formación intelectual y laboral de la mujer, su incorporación al mercado de trabajo, su independencia económica y su emancipación moral y política respecto al varón. A pesar de tal bagaje, tras ser elegida diputada en 1931, apenas proyectó su actividad política en la salvaguard...

This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
