A groundbreaking blueprint to achieve meaningful equality. Most significantly, it brings to bear new social science research and theorizing that tackles the difficult and challenging issue of exposing and proving the presence of gender discrimination that is cultural and structural. . . . Engaging and persuasive. -- Nancy Dowd,David H. Levin Chair in Family Law, University of Florida
Ann McGinley has long been at the forefront of work on masculinity and the law. This book represents pathbreaking work in the gendered dimensions of employment law. It will be of enormous value to scholars, litigators, courts and anyone interested in how the law can better promote gender equality and social justice. -- Deborah L. Rhode,E.W. McFarland Professor of Law, Stanford University
Putting masculinities social science research together with antidiscrimination law, McGinley not only describes the law as it is now but also develops ways in which masculinities theory can be used to move antidiscrimination law forward towards its ultimate goal: eliminating discrimination. -- Michael Zimmer,Loyola University Chicago
In sum, I think this book did a wonderful job of accomplishing its goal. It provides sound logic and additional protections for all types of people from gender-based discrimination at work. * Sex Roles *
