Summary:

This book includes every Supreme Court case relevant to gender and sexual equality from the Court's beginnings to the end of the 2000/2001 term.

Every case is included either as a full (edited) version of the majority or per curium opinion, extensive excerpts of the opinion, or a detailed description of the case.
