Summary:"This study is a gender-sensitive examination of specific dynamics and characteristics inherent to the sociopolitical, economic, and legal systems of the United States that have precluded incorporation of the rights of women on an equal basis with the rights of men. The interaction of these dynamics and characteristics describes a uniquely American view that serves to render the U.S. system troublesome as an exemplar for state incorporation of the human rights of women. Unreserved ratification of CEDAW would constitute a strong effort to protect the human rights of women, yet the United States has failed to support this. This study is a critique of the institutional structures and cultural dynamics that pose obstructions to U.S. ratification."--BOOK JACKET.
