Does equality imply the same treatment of men and women? Or is different treatment needed to ensure equal levels of autonomy for both sexes?By discussing equality in specific contexts such as welfare, pregnancy, child custody, protective legislation and employment, the contributors to this volume provide powerful insights into both the analytic concept of equality and strategies for devising, implementing and evaluating public policy.
