Still Unequal: The Shameful Truth about Women and Justice in America
A vigorous and eye-opening investigation focuses on America's legal system and how, at almost every turn, it undermines women's progress. Many female students and women lawyers in legal firms face staggering levels of sexual harrassment. The prejudice, according to Dusky, continues at the police station and the court house, affecting survivors of rape and women just trying to get a fair deal in a divorce.

Things have not changed in all these years
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I read the book Still Unequal years ago. In fact I went to a book signing in Hillsborough NC and met the author. A local female attorney told me some members of the Orange Co. Bar advised her not to go and of course she didn't- just had me purchase a copy of Still Unequl for her. This book is just as accurate today as it was when it was first published. In all these years nothing seems to have changed. Every woman should read this book.
Americans Need To Read This

I know that it is hard to believe that Still Unequal is applicable in 2003, but it is. Just as Prayers To Survive (Mt. Olive College Press) is still applicable in 2003. They should both be required reading in schools all over America.
Still on target, still relevant, still a reading "must."

Lorraine Dusky knows how to focus on the facts. The material on work and family, and child custody, should be required reading. The picture she paints may not be a pretty one, but facts are not always pretty. Truths can be harsh, but truth is what sets us free.
Required reading for anyone passionate about justice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Dusky's book is simply the very best book of it's kind, bar none. She explains complex issues in amazingly clear language. The book is required reading for all those who are passionate about justice: civilians, lawyers, judges, law professors, ethicists, feminists of both genders, Women's Studies professors and students. I have used this book in a Forensic Psychology graduate class and it was the best textbook we could have had. Phyllis Chesler, Ph.D
