A Feminist View Of American Elder Law, Rebecca Korzec
A Feminist View Of American Elder Law, Rebecca Korzec
All Faculty Scholarship
ANY discussion of contemporary American elder law must consider gender issues. A number of gender concerns are readily discernible, including workplace and family issues. Significantly, sex-based disparities are increasing within the elderly population. In turn, these disparities exacerbate problems of fairness and equity in meeting intergenerational family needs and expectations.
As with childrearing, in contemporary American society, the major caregiving responsibility for the growing number of frail elderly falls largely on women rather than men.

Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora

Working On The "Mommy-Track": Motherhood And Women Lawyers, Rebecca Korzec
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines the effects of motherhood on the careers of women lawyers and the efficacy of the 'mommy-track' as a means of ameliorating these effects.

Part III analyzes the 'mommy-track' from the perspective of feminist jurisprudence. Finally, Part IV examines issues related to workplace transformation. It is the position of this paper that 'mommy-tracking' reinforces undesirable stereotypes. Ironically, this apparent 'solution' actually forestalls the transformations, at home and at work, which could enable women …
