This timely handbook features contributions from leading pioneers and younger scholars, applying a gendered lens to constitution-making and design, constitutional practice and citizenship, and constitutional challenges to gender equality rights and values.

Constitutions and Gender portrays a profound shift in our understanding of what constitutions stand for and what they do.
