A "Near" Contract Experience
The author uses the relationship between women and the law to illustrate the role of contract law as a mechanism
of social control, focussing especially on the willingness - or rather, unwillingness - of the court to intervene in and
enforce 'domestic,' as opposed to commercial agreements, in which women are often the weaker party, in
relation to bargaining power. http://www.murdoch.edu.au/elaw/issues/v1n3/clarke13.html
