This fascinating volume offers a set of biographies of women and gender non-conforming people who made a difference in international law but who, in most cases, were never well-known or have been forgotten. These portraits describe each individual's engagement with international law, the context in which they worked, and the barriers they faced.
Current histories seem to suggest that men alone have been capable of the development of ideas, analysis, and practice of international law until the 1990s. Is this the case? Or have others been erased from the collective images of this history, including the portrait gallery of notables in international law?

Portraits of Women in International Law: New Names and Forgotten Faces? investigates the slow and late inclusion of women in the spheres of knowledge and power in international law. The forty-two textual and visual representations by a diverse team of passionate portraitists represent women and gender non-conforming people in international law from the fourteenth century onwards around the world: individuals and groups who imagined, developed, or contested international law; who earned their living in its institutions; or who, even indirectly, may have changed its course.

This rich volume calls for a critical identification of the formal and informal institutional practices, norms, and rituals of (white) masculinities, both in the past and in the research of international law today. By abandoning reductive histories, their biased frames, and tacit assumptions, this work brings previously unseen glimpses of international law and its agents, ideas, causes, behaviour, norms, and social practices into the spotlight.

Immi Tallgren is Adjunct Professor of International Law at the University of Helsinki and Senior KONE Research Fellow at the Erik Castrén Institute of International Law and Human Rights. She has previously worked at the Finnish MFA, the Legal Affairs Unit of EUROPOL, the European Space Agency, and the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg. Her research interests are primarily in international criminal law, history of international law, law and cinema, and feminist approaches to international law. Her recent publications include The Dawn of a Discipline: International Criminal Justice and its Early Exponents (with Frédéric Mégret, CUP, 2020) and Retrials: The New Histories of International Criminal Law (with Thomas Skouteris, OUP, 2019).
