The women included in this volume - the doctors, lawyers, journalists, historians, poets, anthropologistsexamine the cultural myths that for decades have defined the roles of American women and perpetuated the fact of their inequality. They investigate the issues of rape, abortion, pornography, child custody, health care, and sexual harassment. They explore injustices.
