Before 1964, it was essentially legal to discriminate against women. And even decades after the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, women continue to face obstacles. In this episode, Cynthia Gentile talks to APU professor CJ Sherman about sexual discrimination, unequal pay, and social constructs that hinder women’s careers. Learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women who have left the workforce to care for children. Also hear about four women who have broken through barriers to pursue careers in the legal field and law enforcement and paving the way for future generations of women.
