{"product_id":"equal-means-equal-jessica-neuwirth-9781620970393","title":"Equal Means Equal: Why the Time for an Equal Rights Amendment Is Now","description":"When the Equal Rights Amendment was first passed by Congress in 1972, Richard Nixon was president and \u003ci\u003eAll in the Family\u003c\/i\u003e's Archie Bunker was telling his feisty wife Edith to stifle it. Over the course of the next ten years, an initial wave of enthusiasm led to ratification of the ERA by thirty-five states, just three short of the thirty-eight states needed by the 1982 deadline. Many of the arguments against the ERA that historically stood in the way of ratification have gone the way of bouffant hairdos and Bobby Riggs, and a new Coalition for the ERA was recently set up to bring the experience and wisdom of old-guard activists together with the energy and social media skills of a new-guard generation of women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a series of short, accessible chapters looking at several key areas of sex discrimination recognized by the Supreme Court, \u003ci\u003eEqual Means Equal\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the legal cases that inform the need for an ERA, along with contemporary cases in which women's rights are compromised without the protection of an ERA. Covering topics ranging from pay equity and pregnancy discrimination to violence against women, \u003ci\u003eEqual Means Equal\u003c\/i\u003e makes abundantly clear that an ERA will improve the lives of real women living in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Neuwirth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620970392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620970393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014","brand":"Jessica Neuwirth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984671932671,"sku":"9781620970393","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c2b6021-ccaa-400a-9775-5be2d217ae60.jpg?v=1683273595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/equal-means-equal-jessica-neuwirth-9781620970393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
