Legislation: The Maryland Equal Rights Amendment: Eight Years Of Application, Peter S. Saucier Jan 1980

Legislation: The Maryland Equal Rights Amendment: Eight Years Of Application, Peter S. Saucier

University of Baltimore Law Review

"As the species homo sapiens slowly evolved from the baser life forms, both a congregating into a family group and a division of labor therein became saliently characteristic.
