RIP Ann Hopkins, plaintiff in one of the most important civil rights cases you may not have heard about.https://nyti.ms/2NZLRRB
In Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, the Supreme Court said an employer violates Title VII--and discriminates "because of sex"--when it refuses to promote a woman because, in its view, she's insufficiently feminine. Here's a snippet of what Ann Hopkins faced.pic.twitter.com/wsKGzysPSu
This case has been critical to evolving jurisprudence on discrimination because of sex (or, for that matter, other protected classes). In recent years, it has been building block for findings that Title VII bars sexual orientation discrimination, protects transgender workers.
Having recognized that "sex stereotyping" is unlawful in Ann Hopkins's case, the courts now recognize that it's just another form of sex stereotyping--against people who don't conform to preconceived gender norms--to discriminate on basis of sexual orientation, etc.
Ann Hopkins also penned a very interesting essay about her experience as the plaintiff in a long-running, landmark suit. I commend it to all. https://law.hofstra.edu/pdf/academics/journals/laborandemploymentlawjournal/labor_hopkins_vol22no2.pdf …
I particularly enjoy her account of being there when a supervisor made an unfortunate remark in a deposition.pic.twitter.com/H3jPJQg9lC
Thank you @brooksbarnesNYT and the @nytimes for correctly perceiving that Ann Hopkins led an important, trailblazing life that warranted this very nice obituary.https://twitter.com/brooksbarnesNYT/status/1019335192941453312 …
If this woman and these principles mean anything to you, get in there and resist Brett Kavanaugh.
Catching up on my reading. What a brave, smart and tough woman. May we all be as courageous as #AnnHopkins !
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea about this important case in history!
Kennedy the lone dissenter. Of course.
