Women's Rights Handbook, California Department Of Justice, Office Of The Attorney General

California Agencies

This booklet is being distributed to inform Californians about the rights of women as citizens, workers, students, spouses and consumers, and to provide other valuable information related to these rights. In recent years, and largely as a result of the work, dedication and organization of women, the courts and legislatures have taken positive steps to insure the equal treatment of women in our society. This booklet has been prepared by the Office of the Attorney General as a general summary of women's rights in several important areas, such as employment, education, credit, health care and domestic relations.
