The book is cleverly organized in terms of themes through which the post-Nineteenth Amendment Constitution has defined gender and the citizenship status of women in the United States. \u003ci\u003eThe Constitution as Social Design\u003c\/i\u003e is a major work of scholarship and constitutional interpretation. It will become required reading for all scholars working in law and politics, gender studies, and American political development.\" -- Desmond King\u003cbr\u003e\"Ritter successfully argues that seeing the constitution as social design rather than merely a charter for rights allows us to reinterpret the meaning of citizenship. This book is a significant contribution to gender studies, constitutional history, and U.S. political development.\" -- Julie Novkov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Acknowledgments\tiii  @toc2:Chapter 1\tThe Constitution as Social Design\t1  @toc1:Part I: The Impact of the Nineteenth Amendment  @toc2:Chapter 2\tVoting\t000  Chapter 3\tMarriage\t000  Chapter 4\tJury Service\t000  @toc1:Part II: War and Civic Membership in the 1940s  @toc2:Chapter 5\tLabor\t000  Chapter 6\tWar Service\t000  @toc1:Part III: Second Wave Feminism  @toc2:Chapter 7\tEquality\t000  Chapter 8\tPrivacy\t000  Chapter 9\tThe Politics of Presence\t000  @toc4:Notes\t000  Bibliography\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884660470103,"sku":"9780804754385","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804754385.jpg?v=1722532906","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-constitution-as-social-design-9780804754385","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
