dc.description.abstract | This article reasons that for women, as constitutional subjects, the emancipatory promise
of constitutionalism was—from its inception—fundamentally limited by the entrenchment
of the separate spheres tradition. Focusing on evolving constitutional jurisprudence in the
US, Germany and Italy, the article describes a gradual and still imperfect process of (dis)
establishment of the originally enshrined gender order, as it has unfolded since the 1970s
in US and European constitutionalism. It is argued that these processes have allowed the
constitutional doctrine of sex equality to challenge the most forthright expressions of the
separate spheres ideology, denying the possibility of according men and women a different
legal status of rights and duties and keeping women away from the marketplace. In spite of
this, to this day, the sex constitutional equality doctrine has been an inadequate tool to fully
subvert the pre-established gender order in both its transatlantic iterations. In the US, we find
assimilationist workerism with its anti-stereotyping conception of gender equality, providing
no support for working women, and in Europe accommodationist workerism, wherein special
measures are fostered at the risk of entrenching rather than subverting existing gender roles.
The article then describes recent evolutions in constitutionalism pointing to a promising third
way, with Nordic inspiration, which, challenging traditionally accepted notions of family privacy
and foregrounding fatherhood as opposed to just motherhood, would allow us to retain
the central importance attached to care and reproduction, but at the same time assist in the
process of overcoming traditional gender assumptions and stereotypes built around them. | es |
