Ebook: The 51% minority: how women still are not equal and what you can do about it

Women make up 51% of the American population, yet still aren't treated equally to men in areas that matter most. Federal prosecutor Wiehl reveals the legal and social inequalities women must face in their daily lives, and provides a "tool box" for dealing with a variety of issues. From boardroom to courtroom, from pregnancy to contraception, from unequal pay to domestic violence, women are more often than not handed the short end of the stick. We're also weighed down by troubling attitudes: the media bombard us with images of young, perfect-bodied women; powerful women are viewed with consternation while powerful men instill respect. The remedy is quite simple: Besides being the majority of the population, we also control the economy, spending 80 percent of every discretionary dollar, and given that 54 percent of voters are female, we can swing an election. Why shouldn't a woman be president?--From publisher description.
