ABSTRACT/SUMMARY
In this extremely readable account of the impact of feminism on women in the US ovet the past 50 years, New York Times columnist [Collins] details the seismic shift in gender relations since the day in 1960 when a secretary appeared in a New York City traffic courtroom to pay her boss`s speeding ticket. The presiding judge publicly chastised the woman and told her husband, also present, to get his wife under control. Her offense? She was wearing slacks.
