This text provides an introduction to discrimination law. Drawing on a wide variety of philosophical and legal sources, the concepts of equality and anti-discrimination law are introduced in their social and historical context.

Focusing on the intersection of gender and work, the analysis addresses critical legal issues such as low pay and sexual harassment while highlighting women's roles in the family as a factor in workforce disadvantage. The author advocates for restructuring paid work to support shared family responsibilities, rather than merely integrating women into existing systems. The book also delves into the complex conflicts among women based on class and race, challenging simplistic solutions and encouraging a nuanced understanding of these dynamics.
