ABSTRACT: A history of the status of women in Hawaii,
particularly, and the United States, in general, is
documented in this publication. Two case studies of women
encountering employment discrimination in Hawaii because of
their sex and their actions to obtain equal employment
conditions are summarized. Present employment conditions in
Hawaii are followed by a section on women of old Hawaii.
The history of the women's movement in the United States is
discussed in terms of individual rights, religion,
education, and employment. The final sections discuss
combating sex discrimination by the political activities of
voting, party participation, holding office, and uniting
diverse groups in supporting the ratification of the Equal
Rights Amendment. (MLF)
