As the nature of combat changes, law and policy must change to place women in official combat roles. Such factors as physical ability, emotional readiness for combat, family relationships, and unit cohesion must be considered in a new light. The author examines...

In the 1960s, Lois Kathryn Herr left her job as a seventh-grade English teacher and entered the ranks of AT & T, where in unprecedented ways she helped awaken the corporate giant to its injustices against women.

"Women scientists working in small, for-profit companies are eight times more likely than their university counterparts to head a research lab. Why? Laurel Smith-Doerr reveals that, contrary to widely held assumptions, strong career opportunities for women and minorities do not depend on the formal policies and long job ladders that large, hierarchical bureaucracies provide.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act is best known as a monumental achievement of the civil rights movement, but it also revolutionized the lives of American women. Title VII of the law made it illegal to discriminate "because of sex." But Congress gave little guidance about how much it wanted to change in a "Mad Men" world where women played mainly supporting roles.
