The underlying critique - that sex equality issues come down to women's sameness or difference from men, rather than to men's dominance over women - still holds true today. MacKinnon's opening essay on "Unthinking ERA Thinking" was first published nearly twenty years ago. It provides a retrospective of book reviews, law review articles and speeches from 1981 through 2004 they show the evolution of MacKinnon's groundbreaking thinking on legal sex equality theory. Her book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses "equality re-envisioned," focusing on women's lives under men's laws and sexual abuse as sex inequality. She has paved the way for many other thinkers with her innovative work regarding sexual harassment law - a field she is credited with inventing. MacKinnon, of course, is the matriarch of feminist legal theory. MacKinnon 's Book: Her Evolving Thought on Sex Harassment and Sex Equality
