Focusing on civic obligations rather than rights, this groundbreaking study reinterprets women's history in the United States. It examines thirty significant cases from American legal history, tracing the evolution of women's roles from the Revolutionary era—when married women were not considered equal patriots—to contemporary times, highlighting ongoing disparities in obligations, such as military service, between genders. This analysis offers a fresh perspective on women's contributions and responsibilities throughout American history.
