• A wide-ranging volume from a leading figure in gender studies
• Phillips examines the relationship between universalism and cultural relativism, how to distinguish valid generalisation from either gender or cultural essentialism, and how to recognise women as agents rather than captives of culture
• The text is illuminated by legal cases and policy interventions, with a particular focus on forced marriage and cultural defence
• This will appeal to all students interested in the meaning of culture and its relationship to the study of gender
