Reviews

The high quality of each contribution should establish the book as an important resource, informing the further development of this topic.

The high quality of each contribution should establish the book as an important resource, informing the further development of this topic. -- Tony Hobbs * Feminist Legal Studies, Vol 16 * …this book provides a careful, critical and comparative analysis of the work of fathers' rights activists… * Education, Public Law and the Individual Vol 11, Issue 1 * ...a carefully documented and rich amalgam of ideas, arguments and propositions concerning the contemporary phenomenon of fathers' rights activism…The editors suggest the volume might serve in the development of an agenda that promotes a more nuanced and rounded politics of equality than that advocated by fathers' rights organizations. It certainly makes a major contribution to that agenda. It gives us a coherent and incisive critique that represents an important marker of a defining moment in the history of family law reform strategies. -- Fiona Raitt * Social & Legal Studies 18 (2) *
