After Misogyny: How the Law Fails Women and What to Do About It

My interview with Fordham University Law Professor Julie Suk about her new book exploring systemic misogyny in the law.

Julie C. Suk is Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law and is a leading expert on gender and constitutional law in the United States and around the world. In 2020 she published, We the Women: The Unstoppable Mothers of the Equal Rights Amendment, which was the first book to chronicle and assess the twenty-first-century revival of the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, we talk about her new book: After Misogyny: How the Law Fails Women and What to Do about It.
