Social Feminism, Labor Politics, and the Law: Women, the Law, and the Workplace, Volume One (Controversies in Constitutional Law)

Equal rights for women in the workplace is a critical aspect of the twentieth century civil rights movement, as well as an issue of academic and public interest.

As the interest in the intersection of law and women's studies surges, this important new collection will become an essential guide to students and scholars, as well as lay readers.
