Unbending Gender
In Unbending Gender, Joan Williams takes a hard look at the state of feminism in America. Concerned by what she finds--young women who flatly refuse to identify themselves as feminists and working-class and minority women who feel the movement hasn't addressed the issues that dominate their daily lives--she outlines a new vision of feminism that calls for workplaces focused on the needs of families and, in divorce cases, recognition of the value of family work and its impact on women's earning power.

American Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism
A comparative analysis of the legal models of Canada and Australia jarred Colker (constitutional law, Ohio State U. College of Law) into a new perspective on the presumptions of the US legal system.

Legal arguments are personalized with case studies of those dealing with discrimination and workplace inequities. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Defended by a host of passionate advocates and organizations, certain standard human rights have come to represent a quintessential component of global citizenship.

Human Rights in World History takes a global historical perspective to examine the emergence of this dilemma and its constituent concepts.
