This provision, known as Title VII, laid a new legal foundation for women's rights at work. Though President Kennedy and other lawmakers expressed high hopes for Title VII, early attempts to enforce it were inconsistent. In the absence of a consensus definition of sex equality in the law or society, Title VII's practical meaning was far from certain. The first history to foreground Title VII's sex provision, Equality on Trial examines how the law's initial promise inspired a generation of Americans to dispatch expansive notions of sex equality. Imagining new solidarities and building a broad class politics, these workers and activists engaged Title VII to generate a pivotal battle over the terms of democracy and the role of the state in all labor relationships. But the law's ambiguity also allowed for narrow conceptions of sex equality to take hold. Conservatives found ways to bend Title VII's possible meanings to their benefit, discovering that a narrow definition of sex equality allowed businesses to comply with the law without transforming basic workplace structures or ceding power to workers. These contests to fix the meaning of sex equality ultimately laid the legal and cultural foundation for the neoliberal work regimes that enabled some women to break the glass ceiling as employers lowered the floor for everyone else. Synthesizing the histories of work, social movements, and civil rights in the postwar United States, Equality on Trial recovers the range of protagonists whose struggles forged the contemporary meanings of feminism, fairness, and labor rights"--Book jacket. 000772704 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000772704 61010 $$aUnited States.$$tCivil Rights Act of 1964. 000772704 650_0 $$aSex discrimination in employment$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States. 000772704 650_0 $$aSex discrimination against women$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States. 000772704 650_0 $$aSex discrimination in employment$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000772704 650_0 $$aSex discrimination against women$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000772704 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTurk, Katherine.$$tEquality on trial.$$dPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania : University of Pennsylvania Press, c2016$$z9780812248203$$w(DLC) 2016296673$$w(OCoLC)930010182 000772704 830_0 $$aPolitics and culture in modern America. 000772704 852__ $$bacq 000772704 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000772704 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000772704 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4540271$$zOnline Access 000772704 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4540271$$zOnline Access 000772704 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:772704$$pGLOBAL_SET 000772704 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000772704 980__ $$aBIB 000772704 982__ $$aEbook 000772704 983__ $$aOnline
