George W. Bush and the War on Women: Turning Back the Clock on Progress
ISBN: 9781842777855 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book takes a devastating look at the actions and policies of the George W.

While the media have focused on his opposition to abortion, Bush's less-publicized anti-feminist agenda has in fact been much more extensive. He has opposed women's interests in multiple ways, from shutting down women's offices in the government to...
