Women''s views of space law and policy: no gender-based agenda

This article is a synthesis of interviews with women working and writing in the areas of space law and policy. One initial focus of the interviews was to explore whether, as a result of the growing numbers of women working in aerospace-related fields, there might be certain women's agendas developing as well. Taken together, the responses of the 10 women interviewed clearly acknowledge the importance of the feminine perspective, while rejecting the appropriateness or necessity of concentration on specific ‘women's issues’ and favouring cooperative efforts to address problems of global concern.
