The premises of the emerging field of feminist jurisprudence are examined, & some basic works in this field are critically reviewed. While feminist legal scholars agree that law, both as an institution & as an academic enterprise, contains an inherent male bias, they differ in their explanations of its origins & effects. Several of these scholars emphasize gender differences, rather than male domination, in their critiques of law. Here, analysis of "difference jurisprudence" concludes that it has no adequate theory of gender difference, & that the existing scholarship rests on premises dangerous to sexual equality. 71 References.
