Zusatztext In Constitutional Orphan, Monopoli weaves how race, gender, and class in America during the early 20th century limited the scope of the Nineteenth Amendment to merely an amendment related to voting. This intersectionality makes this book a must-read for legal scholars interested in how race, gender, and class impact the American legal tradition. Monopoli's arguments are well reasoned and supported by authority. Her highly readable writing style retains an academic tone, with extensive footnotes to important primary sources and a comprehensive index. Informationen zum Autor Paula A. Monopoli is the Sol & Carlyn Hubert Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. An elected member of the American Law Institute, Professor Monopoli received her B.A. from Yale College and her J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. In addition to Constitutional Orphan, Professor Monopoli is the author, editor and co-author of three previous books, American Probate, Law and Leadership, and Contemporary Trusts and Estates, as well as a number of articles including Gender and Constitutional Design in the Yale Law Journal. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the Moller Institute, Churchill College, University of Cambridge, and is an Academic Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. Klappentext Constitutional Orphan explores the role of the former suffragists in the emergence of a limited conception of the Nineteenth Amendment, that the Nineteenth was simply a rule preventing states from discriminating against women at the ballot box. The book describes new legal scholarship, which suggests how the Nineteenth can be used more robustly to fully secure gender equality today.
