Focusing on the intersection of gender and legal capacity, this book delves into the essential concepts of legal personhood and agency. It examines the historical and contemporary challenges faced by women, disabled women, and gender minorities, highlighting systemic denials of legal capacity such as voting restrictions and marital laws. Employing critical feminist, disability, and queer theories, it analyzes patterns of oppression and proposes reforms through global case studies, aiming to enhance legal recognition and empower marginalized groups.
