Abstract
An examination of the historical circumstances surrounding the inclusi on of gender in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act reveals how rac e, class, and gender operate in complex and contradictory patterns to shape social policy. Two levels of analysis are presented. One focuses on political conflict within the state. The other is a textual analys is of the actual congressional debate on the gender amendment to Title VII.
