About this title

Review

"Accessible and easy to read. From athletics and birth control to violence and welfare, you'll find answers you need to questions you didn't even know you had." -Kim A. Gandy, President, National Organization for Women "An important and much-needed guide to contemporary women's rights law. It covers a wide range of critical subjects with intelligence and clarity. It is straightforward, accessible and well-written. I highly recommend it as an essential guide to laypeople and lawyers alike." -Elizabeth M. Schneider, author of "Battered Women and Feminist Lawmaking" "This book fills a great need--and does so in an impressively lucid, straight-forward and helpful way. It's a must-have for anyone who cares about improving the lives of women now, and for generations to come." -Marcia D. Greenberger, co-president, National Women's Law Center "Given its purpose and audience, the strengths of this handbook are that it is enormously practical and accessible . . . I'd recommend it not just for academic and public libraries, but also for personal libraries, especially if there are young women in the household." -"Feminist Collections", "[This book] is an indispensable resource that can help all of us who are working to advance equal rights and help women overcome discrimination. It is a highly effective, accessible explanation of the law that can empower advocates and leaders alike." -Debra L. Ness, President, National Partnership for Women & Families
