In the 1960's and 1970's, the analogies between sex and race discrimination pioneered by Murray became potent weapons in the battle for women's rights, as feminists borrowed rhetoric and legal arguments from the civil rights movement. Serena Mayeri's Reasoning from Race is the first book to explore the development and consequences of this key feminist strategy. Mayeri uncovers the history of an often misunderstood connection at the heart of American antidiscrimination law. Her study details how a tumultuous political and legal climate transformed the links between race and sex equality, civil rights and feminism. Battles over employment discrimination, school segregation, reproductive freedom, affirmative action, and constitutional change reveal the promise and peril of reasoning from race-and offer a vivid picture of Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and others who defined feminists' agenda. Looking beneath the surface of Supreme Court opinions to the deliberations of feminist advocates, their opponents, and the legal decision makers who heard-or chose not to hear-their claims, Reasoning from Race showcases previously hidden struggles that continue to shape the scope and meaning of equality under the law. 517 3 $aFeminism, law, and the civil rights revolution 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen's rights$zUnited States$xPhilosophy 606 $aFeminist jurisprudence$zUnited States 606 $aWomen's rights$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights movements$zUnited States 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States$xMethodology 606 $aFeminist theory$zUnited States 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$xHistory 615 0$aWomen's rights$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aFeminist jurisprudence 615 0$aWomen's rights$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights movements 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional law$xMethodology. 615 0$aFeminist theory 676 $a342.7308/78 700 $aMayeri$b Serena$01012975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785558403321 996 $aReasoning from race$92353899 997 $aUNINA
