This article brings together feminist literary theory and law by approaching a number of U.S. Federal cases on sex equality in light of the work of the renowned feminist literary critic Naomi Schor, and shows that literary theory constitutes an under-explored resource for feminist legal critique. Schor’s writings constitute a sustained rumination on the relationship between reading and feminism. Drawing on writings on language and the body by key French feminist theorists, Schor advances a method of interpretation which she terms, provocatively, ‘clitoral reading’, and which focuses on the place of details relating to women’s bodies and desires within literary and cultural discourses. In the course of her career, she analysed texts from domains as diverse as literature, philosophy, visual art, the history of fashion, and photography. I will demonstrate that her work can make a valuable contribution to legal studies by using it as an interpretative lens to re-examine U.S. Federal court judgments.

女权主义文学理论与法律：与 Naomi Schor 一起阅读案例

本文根据著名女权主义文学评论家 Naomi Schor 的作品，通过处理美国联邦关于性别平等的一些案例，将女权主义文学理论和法律结合起来，并表明文学理论构成了女权主义法律批评的未充分探索的资源。Schor 的著作构成了对阅读与女权主义之间关系的持续反思。Schor 借鉴法国主要女权主义理论家关于语言和身体的著作，提出了一种解释方法，她将其称为“阴蒂阅读”，并着重于文学和文化话语中与女性身体和欲望有关的细节。 . 在她的职业生涯中，她分析了文学、哲学、视觉艺术、时尚史和摄影等不同领域的文本。
