First, it aims to describe the legal and social construction of sexually transmitted debt through a feminist analysis of the 1998 Australian High Court legal case of Garcia v National Australia Bank Ltd. It aims, second, to contribute to feminist understanding of financial decision-making within households by focussing on those decisions that lead to the accumulation of debt within the domestic sphere.172277 bytesapplication/pdfenWomen Legal status, laws, etc. South Australia.Women South Australia Economic conditions.Women South Australia Social conditions.Thesis
