Summary
The feminist and political activity Gloria Steinem once declared "a gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist; where everyone can be themselves." This book explores major issues related to gender equality in the United States today, including legislation that would guarantee equal pay, changing attitudes towards sexual harassment, the challenging debate over abortion and reproductive rights, and the efficacy of strategies that would close the gap between male and female students in STEM education
