Women in the barracks : the VMI case and equal rights von Philippa Strum
Wonderful recounting of the Supreme Court dedcision that opened VMI to women. Focuses on the key players (Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Josiah Bunting) and others who fought to accomplish what each believed was right. Also looks at legal history of women's issues - good description of Frontiero Case for example and other pertinent cases. Looks at Sandra Day O'Conner's term on court, the friendship between her and Ginsburg, and the way they have been treated on the Court. Also looks at decisions of William Rhenquist.
