From Library Journal

Goldstein provides a legal casebook examining women's constitutional rights as determined by U.S. Supreme Court decisions. This revised and updated edition of her 1979 work contains cases through the 1987 Supreme Court term. The cases discuss women's rights and 20th-century civil rights conceptsequal protection of the laws, discriminatory practices, and privacy. The analysis traces the interactions between social change movements and the law and gives careful attention to concurring and dissenting opinions. This book is highly recommended for persons interested in law, social movements, and civil rights dimensions in our society. Steven Puro, St. Louis Univ.
