Prof. Jill Hasday Discusses New Book, We the Men, on Ipse Dixit Podcast

Professor Jill Hasday appeared on the Ipse Dixit podcast discussing her new book, We the Men: How Forgetting Women’s Struggles for Equality Perpetuates Inequality. Among several topics, Prof. Hasday explained how men have historically used rhetoric to minimize the role of women in claiming rights for women and discount the need for a women’s rights movement. In addition, she discussed many different historical episodes, including the fight for the 19th Amendment, inclusion of sex discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the ongoing struggle to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to show how women were systematically written out of women's history.
