Årg. 44 (2005): Additions, supplements etc. Less Favored - More Favored

This is an online special issue. A group of Danish female scholars of legal history invited colleagues working in the field to a conference on gendered legal history with the special theme “Less favored - more favored in law and legal practice”. The primary purpose was to connect legal historians doing research with a gendered perspective in the Nordic, European and Anglo-American countries. The incentive for the conference came from the European network, “Geschlechter-differenz in europäischen Rechtskreisen / Gender differences in European legal cultures”. The network has its roots in the current flowering, often gendered, research in European Legal History, found in several European countries, including the Nordic countries.

The conference took place on September 27th - 29th, 2004, at the Royal Library in Copenhagen and the papers from the conference are presented here as reworked articles, some of them in a bilingual (German and English) version, others with a summary in German or English.
