- Description
- In focusing on a feminist critique of the developing case law surrounding workplace appearance rules this note describes how the existing conceptions of American sex-discrimination law fail to meet the changing forms of sexual discrimination in the workplace. It also addresses the way in which localities have attempted to legislate in the area of appearance and dress and asks whether such legislation will be able to force employers to change basic cultural expectations about gender.
