Riane Eislers Handbook is a beautifully and concisely written book about one of the most important social movements of our times. She presents the case for the ERA as a matter of simple justice. The Equal Rights Handbook has been hailed as: "...a wonderful book. Youve done an enormous job in winning the fight for equality. Your work will be used, by me and by others, in this long hard struggle for simple decency the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment." -Alan Alda "Riane Eisler has written the definitive book on the ERA." -Erica Jong "At last the significance and impact of ERA as law has been made clear by an attorney and legal authority who is also a woman, a mother, and who can write!" -Carol Burnett "...demonstrates that ERA is the missing link in our struggle to become a fully democratic nation. It is basic reading for every American woman." -Nancy Neuman, ERA Chair, League of Women Voters "...clears up the distortions leveled against the Equal Rights Amendment and provides essential information on organizing and fund-raising to promote equality for women." Ruth Hinerfeld, President, League of Women Voters "...answers the misleading charges about ERA. More importantly, it answers the hard questions raised by those whose minds can be changed. At a crucial time, the Equal Rights Handbook is a necessary companion to help win ratification." -David Cohen, President, Common Cause

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Born in Vienna, Riane Tennenhaus Eisler became a refugee from the Nazis at the age of seven. She and her family escaped to Cuba, where she spent her childhood. At the age of 14, Eisler and her parents emigrated to the United States, where she obtained degrees in sociology, anthropology, and law at UCLA. She taught at UCLA and was at the forefront of the Women's Movement in the Seventies. Her first book, "Dissolution: No-Fault Divorce, Marriage, and the Future of Women" predicted the feminization of poverty, and her second, "The ERA Handbook: What ERA Means to Your Life, Your Rights, and the Future," blueprinted one of the most important social movements of our time. "The Equal Rights Handbook" presents the case for the ERA as a matter of simple justice.
