Feminist Interventions into International Law

This paper was presented as the introduction to a symposium on "Feminist Interventions in International Law". It reviews the short history of feminist scholarship in the field of international law, providing an overview of some gain made while expressing skepticism about the viability of real transformation of the system. She suggests that the gains that have been made are primarily in the area of human rights, but many of the changes retain the importance of form over substance.
