- Abstract
The article looks at the impact of Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 which banned employment discrimination on the basis of sex, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the law's passage. Topics include the 1971 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Phillips v. Martin-Marietta which concerned a firm's policy of not hiring mothers of young children, the 1978 U.S. Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and the conditions of women workers including professionals and domestic workers.
