“In this intriguing scholarly treatise, Fordham University law professor Suk (We the Women) documents how the law protects men’s ‘overentitlement’ and ‘overempowerment’ and examines efforts to correct the problem through constitutional reform.” (Publishers’ Weekly)
After Misogyny explores women’s movements to improve constitutional democracy in the United States and throughout the world.
Law Day was established in 1958 by President Eisenhower to celebrate the rule of law in a free society. It coincides with May Day celebrations of International Workers’ Day throughout the world. This year’s Law Day theme, designated by the ABA, is “Cornerstones of Democracy: Civics, Civility, and Collaboration.”
