Title VII of the law made it illegal to discriminate \"because of sex.\" But that simple phrase didn’t mean much until ordinary women began using the law to get justice on the job—and some took their fights all the way to the Supreme Court. Among them were Ida Phillips, denied an assembly line job because she had a preschool-age child; Mechelle Vinson, who brought a lawsuit for sexual abuse before \"sexual harassment\" even had a name; Ann Hopkins, denied partnership at a Big Eight accounting firm because the men in charge thought she needed \"a course at charm school\"; and most recently, Peggy Young, UPS truck driver, forced to take an unpaid leave while pregnant. Through first-person accounts and vivid narrative, \u003ci\u003eBecause of Sex \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of how one law, our highest court, and a few tenacious women changed the American workplace forever.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44337049927838,"sku":"ADS-9781250138088","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250138088.jpg?v=1727782721","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250138088","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
