The Law of Sex Discrimination

by J. Ralph Lindgren

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.
