An alternative framework to US sex-discrimination law proposes that gender issues be analyzed according to gender disadvantage rather than gender difference. Using examples from court rulings on occupational restrictions, protective labor, & maternity policy, it is suggested that a focus on context & consequence of gender discrimination will reorient issues of gender away from difference toward methods of changing the workplace. 66 References.

GENDER JUSTICE is an avowedly liberal tract on the problems of gender discrimination in our society. It seeks to provide an alternative to the visions of both conservatives and radical feminists. The book fails in its liberal mission for some of the same reasons that the new breed of Democrats cannot seem to raise much of a challenge to the Republican ideology currently sweeping the country. The authors endorse many of the policies advocated by conservatives-- they reject affirmative action and comparable worth, for example-- but they do so by means of a liberal, process-oriented approach.
