In the past twenty-five years, no one has been more instrumental
than Catharine MacKinnon in making equal rights real for women. As
Peter Jennings once put it, more than anyone else in legal studies,
she "has made it easier for other women to seek justice." This
collection, the first since MacKinnon's celebrated "Feminism
Unmodified" appeared in 1987, brings together previously
uncollected and unpublished work in the national arena from 1980 to
the present, defining her clear, coherent, consistent approach to
reframing the law of men on the basis of the lives of women.
By making visible the deep gender bias of existing law,
MacKinnon has recast legal debate and action on issues of sex
discrimination, sexual abuse, prostitution, pornography, and
racism. The essays in this volume document and illuminate some of
the momentous and ongoing changes to which this work contributes;
the recognition of sexual harassment, rape, and battering as claims
for sexual discrimination; the redefinition of rape in terms of
women's actual experience of sexual violation; and the reframing of
the pornography debate around harm rather than morality. The
perspectives in these essays have played an essential part in
changing American law and remain fundamental to the project of
building a sex-equal future.
