Description
I. OUR PROJECT The Columbia Journal of Gender and Law (JGL) editorial board formed in 1989, and we produced our first issue in 1991. But fourteen years after our conception, we found ourselves wondering, "Why a Feminist Law Journal?"--questioning both whether we are a feminist journal, and whether there should be feminist journals. We invited members of the legal academy to help us scrutinize the role of journals like ours by asking the following questions: Is our purpose still relevant? Considering how theory and practice look today, is a journal focused on the intersection between law and gender, w omen, or feminism still a useful forum? Do we have clear goals? Are journals devoted to gender or women even feminist? What does "feminist" mean, and is that a worthy mission?
