In a nation whose Constitution purports to speak for 'We the People,' too many of the stories that powerful Americans tell about law and society include only 'We the Men'. A long line of judges, politicians, and other influential scene setters have ignored women's struggles for equality or distorted them beyond recognition by wildly exaggerating American progress. Even as sexism continues to warp constitutional law, political decision making, and everyday life, powerful Americans have spent more than a century proclaiming that the United States has already left sex discrimination behind. Jill Elaine Hasday's 'We the Men' explores how forgetting women's struggles for equality - and forgetting the work America still has to do - perpetuates injustice, promotes complacency, and denies how generations of women have had to come together to fight for reform and against regression.
