Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since the 1960s several authors have identified factors which contribute to social, political and economic inequality between women and men. Few, however, have sought to determine if there exists a pattern of discriminatory attitudes about women, specifically assumptions regarding their competency, and suitability for paid work, which shapes policies affecting their rights as citizens. This paper examines the developments in three key areas affecting women: employment practices, reproductive rights, and the effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It focuses on the period between 1963-1976, when the contemporary debate on women�s equality emerged, and when the framework to review equal protection cases was established. It analyzes the legislative outcome of the Equal Pay Act and the ERA, as well as major judicial decisions rendered in major employment and abortion cases. By comparing three different policy areas I seek to determine if there is evidence for the claim that attitudes about women expressed in legislative debates and court decisions have implications for their equality and citizenship.
