Women in the Law Short Course

1 credits · Law School

This course will draw on my book, We the Men: How Forgetting Women’s Struggles for Equality Perpetuates Inequality (Oxford University Press 2025). Students will read We the Men, plus primary sources chosen to place the book’s arguments in legal and historical context. These primary sources include some of the most important decisions in the Supreme Court’s long history of regulating women’s status, such as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), Rostker v. Goldberg (1981), Goesaert v. Cleary (1948), and Muller v. Oregon (1908). Pass/Fail. [1]
