- Description
- Collection of speeches and other writing from Catharine Alice MacKinnon (1946), American feminist, scholar and lawyer. In this book, the author argues that the right seemingly minor interventions in the legal realm can have a butterfly effect that generates major social and cultural transformations. The pieces collected here provide a new perspective on her career as a pioneer of legal theory and practice and an activist for women’s rights. Its central concerns of gender inequality, sexual harassment, rape, pornography, and prostitution have defined her intellectual, legal, and political pursuits for over forty years. The selections all share the same motivation: to end inequality, including abuse, in women’s lives.

- Description
- The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is one of the most important human rights tools ever created. Adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly, it is often described as an international bill of rights for women. These essays and personal reflections, from individuals who have served on the committee that monitors CEDAW, introduce readers to the issues and the activism. .Only a handful of countries have refused to ratify CEDAW: the United States is the only industrialized country among them. This book reveals the profound impact the convention has had on women's lives around the world and its potential to affect American women. With examples and moving reminiscences from Japan to Tunisia to the Caribbean and beyond, this collection addresses CEDAW's impact on women in Islam, labor markets, migration, violence against women, human trafficking, women in politics, and more.
