Women and the U.S. Constitution: History, Interpretation, and PracticeSibyl A. Schwarzenbach, Patricia Smith Columbia University Press, 18/02/2004 - 448 páginas Women and the U.S. Constitution is about much more than the nineteenth amendment. This provocative volume incorporates law, history, political theory, and philosophy to analyze the U.S. Constitution as a whole in relation to the rights and fate of women. Divided into three parts—History, Interpretation, and Practice—this book views the Constitution as a living document, struggling to free itself from the weight of a two-hundred-year-old past and capable of evolving to include women and their concerns. |
