This series of books for school students focuses on current contemporary issues. This title looks at the topic of Gender equality. The feminist and political activist Gloria Steinem once declared, "A gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist: where everyone can be themselves." This book explores major issues related to gender equality specifically in the United States today, including legislation that would guarantee equal pay, changing attitudes toward sexual harassment, the Me Too movement, the challenging debate over abortion and reproductive rights, and the efficacy of strategies that would close the gap between male and female students in STEM education.
