ABSTRACT
This book has three primary goals. The first objective is to provide a thorough review of issues important to women in the workplace. The second is to provide one text that covers theories about gender discrimination, case studies to illustrate key themes, and the legal framework for equity at work. In addition to legal frameworks, this text introduces some of the significant legal cases related to workplace discrimination. A third objective is to introduce some comparisons between the position of women in the United States and in other countries. Although this text cannot provide an exhaustive description of the position of women everywhere, it does include several examples of work-related issues for women in other countries, especially European nations.
