- Description
- In this book Kaminer presents a defense of equality. She shows how protective laws in the workplace, the home, and the criminal justice system, which some believe helpful, always hurt women by advancing debilitating stereotypes of feminine passivity, weakness, and dependence. Covering a range of issues, including abortion, reproductive rights, divorce reform, workplace rights, and sexual violence, she clarifies the connection between racial and sexual equality and outlines the struggle for full equality facing women in the 1990s.
