The legacy of women's roles in the development of our country and our Constitution has largely been ignored by historians and educators--until now. Informative and enlightening, Women, Politics and the Constitution is one of the few books that recognizes and provides an understanding of women's early political contributions. It is an absolutely essential volume for an educated public.

Experts, both women and men, debate, discuss, and commemorate the significance of the United States Constitution on women's history, rights, and present status. Chapters are written by legal and academic leaders who are playing a critical role both in interpreting and in determining the constitutional status of women. Highlights include:

  • an overview of the history of women and the United States constitution by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who explores the exclusion of women from most political and economic protections provided to men and addresses the impact on women of various interpretations made by the United States Supreme Court
  • a review of one pioneering woman's contributions to the content of the Constitution
  • a discussion of the implications of the Constitution for African-American women
  • an examination of how New Jersey women secured the right to vote in the late eighteenth century and their subsequent disenfranchisement
  • an investigation of the significance of the Nineteenth Amendment for contemporary gender gap politics
  • a look at sex discrimination cases decided by the Burger Court--both before and after the appointment of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor--to determine her impact on the Court as a whole and upon individual justices
  • criticism of the Supreme Court's approach to constitutional gender equality, with suggestions for a new type of review for gender-based classifications under the Equal Protection Clause
  • an exploration of the theoretical foundations of American sex discrimination law
  • an examination of the content and success rate of constitutional changes relating to women's issues that were proposed in the 50 states between 1977 and 1985

    Women, Politics and the Constitution is an outgrowth of the conference Women and the Constitution: A Bicentennial Perspective which was held recently in Atlanta, Georgia, and was sponsored by the Carter Center of Emory University, the Jimmy Carter Library, and Georgia State University.
