Reviews

"Leslie Goldstein has produced another outstanding book for all students of women and the law. She supplies a rich and insightful analysis of the cases that have led up to the recent highly charged cases that the courts have been called upon to address. This book will find an important niche for those who seek to understand women's legal status in the 1990s." --Karen O'Connor, Emory University.

"This book is highly recommended for persons interested in law, social movements, and civil rights dimensions in our society."--Steven Puro, St. Louis University

"An extraordinary book written by one of our nation's foremost scholars and teachers of constitutional law. This book will be important to the teaching of courses on the rights of women (and men) for many years to come. It is up to the minute on developments in the areas of reproductive rights, sex discrimination, and sexual violence and pornography. It is a must for courses on law and social change, women and law, and contemporary moral problems. It also will be of great use to teachers offering a topical introduction or freshman seminar on constitutional law and judicial politics with a focus on the rights of women. Finally, this book is must reading for members of the informed public and the academy who seek to keep abreast of the latest developments on the rights of women." --Ronald Kahn, Oberlin College
