Product Description
Now fully updated for the 21st Century, this book is designed to serve as a text for undergraduate courses concerned with sex discrimination law in the U.S. The authors approach the idea of using law to combat sex discrimination from a variety of contexts; for example, as an occasion for ideological disputes, as a reflection of contemporary policy debates over the future direction of society, or as part of the historical development (and response to) feminism. Throughout, the authors provide legal materials in a form that affords instructors the flexibility to adapt the text to the needs of their course. Pedagogical elements include a list of further readings, appendices that deal with the court system, a brief discussion of how to outline cases, and a glossary of legal and technical terms.

The Law of Sex Discrimanation June 21, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
An above average text book which did more than serve its purpose. It also provided a good reference for a research paper and talked in detail about a number of legal cases.
very good primary source material July 5, 2007
Ari Elias Bachrach (Philadelphia PA)
Although this book is admittedly not the most accessible one in it's class, it is one of the most useful if you have the time and desire to delve into the issues of sex and the law in depth. The book is comprised almost entirely of court decisions, and as such is an invaluable compendium of source material. If you're looking for a brief overview look elsewhere, but if you want a roundup of relevant court decisions this is an excellent reference.
