摘要
英美女性主義思潮對法律專門領域的挑戰，已經從個別法律的不公正，發展到法理學以及法理論的批判，本文試圖對此作一個整體性的整理與分析。大體而言，女性主義法學在法理論中有其獨特的個性：女性主義法學具有強烈的分析性格，先驗式地將性別當成一種社會結構，分析其與法律之間的相互作用；同時，女性主義法學具備濃厚的倫理性與政治性的訴求，希望藉此在女性主義的實踐上產生意義。因此，本文除了探討女性主義法學中一個最為重要的課題—女性經驗到底能不能在法律中被完整呈現？更進一步追問女性經驗在法律中之呈現與性別正義的理論與實踐之間的關聯性。

Abstract
This paper seeks to introduce and reflect upon the debates within legal feminism in both the western and non-western world. These debates are centred around the issue of feminism adding women’s experiences of law through political struggle, which contains the recognition of feminism’s normative and transformative aspirations. It thus asks three key questions: Can law fully express women’s experiences? Can law improve women’s lives? Can feminist law reform help advance women’s project? The author proposes a theoretical interpretation by relating feminist legal claims with the broader political struggle for gender justice. It then analyses the tensions within legal feminism, defines feminist struggle as a feminist legal strategy that is contingent and subject to changing social contexts, and finally proposes a particular perspective for feminist legal theorizing and activism in the post-colonial context.
