Women have many legal rights, from voting to heading companies to holding political office. Socially, they are far from viewed as equal to men. Sexism begins at birth or even before. It continues throughout childhood and education, in the workplace, and in the family. This guidebook outlines sexism in action in all of these areas. It provides the reader with suggestions for dealing with problems created by sexism at all ages and in all areas of life"--Provided by the publisher.Years 12-17.9-12Grade 6.Grade 7-12.X

In silence or indifference : racism and Jim Crow segregated public school libraries / by Wiegand, Wayne A.,1946-author.(CARDINAL)136862;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Librarians around the country are currently on a battleground, defending their right to purchase and circulate books dealing with issues of race and systemic racism. Despite this work, the library community has often overlooked-even ignored-its own history of white supremacy and deliberate inaction on the part of white librarians and library leadership. Author Wayne A. Wiegand takes a crucial step to amend this historical record. In Silence or Indifference: Racism and Jim Crow Segregated Public School Libraries analyzes and critiques the world of professional librarianship between 1954 and 1974. Wiegand begins by identifying racism in the practice and customs of public school libraries in the years leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. This culture permeated the next two decades, as subsequent Supreme Court decisions led to feeble and mostly unsuccessful attempts to integrate Jim Crow public schools and their libraries. During this same period, the profession was honing its national image as a defender of intellectual freedom, a proponent of the freedom to read, and an opponent of censorship. Still, the community did not take any unified action to support Brown or to visibly oppose racial segregation. As Black school librarians and their Black patrons suffered through the humiliations and hostility of the Jim Crow educational establishment, the American library community remained largely ambivalent and silent. The book brings to light a distressing history that continues to impact the library community, its students, and its patrons. Currently available school library literature skews the historical perspective that informs the present. In Silence or Indifference is the first attempt to establish historical accountability for the systemic racism contemporary school librarianship inherited in the twenty-first century"--
