Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Feminists argue that the public/private distinction (where women are associated with the private sphere of the home and family and men are associated the public sphere of economy and politics) perpetuates the �silence� of international law on women�s rights. Unlike most previous research in this area, this study uses qualitative methods (Ordinary Least Squares multivariate regressions on cross-sectional data) to test the hypothesis that where there is a greater presence of women in the public sphere of a given state, that state will have a higher level of participation in international law that protects women�s rights. The results indicate that the hypothesis can only be partially verified, and that a differentiation may need to be made between various facets of the �public sphere.�
