Philippa Strum is director of United States Studies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Among her numerous books are When the Nazis Came to Skokie: Freedom for the Speech We Hate (see page 50) and Privacy: The Debate in the United States Since 1945.

A compelling, beautifully written, and sweeping legal history, replete with wonderful insights, that reminds readers of the importance of the federal judiciary as arbiters and mediators of the meanings of the U.S. Constitution, especially during eras of cultural change.... A very significant contribution. - Journal of American History; ""A generous-spirited, thoughtful, and thorough book that helps us think about the meanings of military traditions and the military choices we make in our own time."" - Linda K. Kerber, author of No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies: Women and the Obligations of Citizenship; ""Far more than a case study of a lawsuit, Strum's book offers unique insights into the evolution of gender roles in modern and postmodern America."" - Linda Grant De Pauw, author of Battle Cries and Lullabies: Women in War from Prehistory to the Present; ""An epic story about the legal battle for gender equality in the United States.... A modern version of Anthony Lewis's Gideon's Trumpet and an ideal companion to collections on the Supreme Court, the law, feminism, and women's rights, Highly recommended at all levels."" - Choice; ""A fascinating book."" - Virginia Quarterly Review
