The Second Wave Feminism has criticized the modern concepts of ‘Universal Human Rights and Citizenship’ through the criticism on the public-private dichotomy. It had a tremendous impact on Feminist Jurisprudence or Women's Legal Theory established in 70's, which has developed into the Gender Law Studies since 90's.
We have to reconstruct ‘Human Rights and Citizenship’ Theories in the aspect of the Gender Law Studies and improve the relation between Gender and Sovereignty or State Power. Because it is indispensable for women to participate in the political decision making toward the Gender Equal Society. Gender Law Program which provides the theoretical standpoint and perspectives for Gender Equal Society should be established for the consciousness raising, critique or textual deconstruction, theorizing law's gendered nature, and feminist practical reasoning. The role of Gender Law Studies would be enormous in order to promote the Gender Equal Society in the 21^st century.
