Sex: A Classification in Search of Strict Scrutiny

Lombard, Frederica K.

Wayne Law Review, 21, 5, 1355-70, Sep 75

Effects of the Fourteenth Amendment in sex discrimination cases are examined with focus on the standard of review--strict scrutiny, rational relationship, or something in between. Early challenges and judicial attitudes, growing use of the equal protection clause, maternity benefits (Title VII vs. the Constitution), and 1974-75 Supreme Court decisions are topics discussed.
