Abstract

In their call for papers, the organizers of this symposium posed several questions, including: “Are feminist law journals a victim of their own success? Have they outlived their usefulness?” and “What is the state of feminist legal scholarship today? What constitutes feminist scholarship?” As a new member of the legal academy, my answers to their questions depend on answers to two more basic questions: What has been published in feminist law journals? And, how do those articles relate to feminist articles published in non-specialty, or flagship, law journals? After searching the legal literature and finding no easy answers to my questions, I decided to do the work myself. The following essay describes what I found and proposes some tentative answers to the symposium organizers’ questions.
