With a scholarly, deeply concerned eye, the author comprehensively examines areas of public interest, human resource development and utilization, self-fulfillment and sex roles, and the women's liberation movement. Bernard argues that sexual division of labor is at odds with the \""general welfare\"" provision of the Constitution, and that artificial sexual allocation of function impedes the \""pursuit of happiness\"" mandate of the Declaration of Independence.
