ABSTRACT
In Chapter 7 of Postmodern Legal Feminism,15 Mary Joe Frug stages a feminist examination of the Posner-Macneil debate about the law of contracts. It is, as it were, a rehearsal of a debate that has not yet occurred, in which principles associated with the feminine or the family may already be found within contract law – although in a marginalised form still in comparison with classical models. This section offers a brief analysis of this vision, and its pitfalls, as well as filling in the basic debate.
