- Description
- Aandacht voor de hindernissen die vrouwen en/of mannen uit 'minderheidsgroepen' ondervinden bij loopbanen in de in dit geval vooral federale, overheidsdienst. Aan de hand van statistieken onderzocht de auteur tot op welke hoogte de federale overheid representatief is, in die zin dat vrouwen en minderheidsgroepen de zelfde macht en kansen hebben om hun positie te verbeteren en deel te nemen aan het besluitvormingsproces, als hun witte mannelijke tegenhangers.

- Description
- This publication discusses race and gender politics and traces the role of women in Western and non-Western political systems. The author examines the dynamics of race and gender in the United States, starting from the colonial and antebellum periods, leading up to the American Civil War and Reconstruction, through the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, to the present day. The work explores how white American women, in their search and struggle for gender equality in the United States, related to three principal streams in America's socioeconomic and political history: white supremacy, women of color-especially African American women, and the freedom and civil rights struggle for racial equality.

- Description
- This book tells the untold story of shortlisted and nominated women for the United States Supreme Court. From the 1930s women appeared on presidential lists, such as Florence Allen and Amalya Kearse - the first African American woman viewed as a potential Supreme Court nominee - until 1981, when Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female justice on the Supreme Court. The book exposes the listing and bypassing of qualified female candidates, and of women of color, and offers a roadmap to combat bias and discrimination in the legal profession.

- Description
- This collection brings together previously uncollected and unpublished work in the national arena from 1980 to the present, defining her clear, coherent, consistent approach to reframing the law of men on the basis of the lives of women. By making visible the deep gender bias of existing law, MacKinnon has recast legal debate and action on issues of sex discrimination, sexual abuse, prostitution, pornography, and racism. The essays in this volume document and illuminate some of the momentous and ongoing changes to which this work contributes: the recognition of sexual harassment, rape, and battering as claims for sexual discrimination: the redefinition of rape in terms of women?s actual experience of sexual violation: and the reframing of the pornography debate around harm rather than morality. The perspectives in these essays have played an essential part in changing American law and remain fundamental to the project of building a sex-equal future.
