We the Men - How Forgetting Women's Struggles for Equality Perpetuates Inequality

Too many of the stories that powerful Americans tell about law and society include only ''We the Men." A long line of judges, politicians, and other influential scene setters have ignored women''s struggles for equality or even claimed that the United States has already left sex discrimination behind. Jill Hasday''s We the Men is the first book to explore how forgetting women''s struggles for equality--and forgetting the work America still has to do on this front--perpetuates injustice, promotes complacency, and denies how generations of women have had to fight for reform.
