Almost there; for women, the Civil Rights Act of 1991 is a move in the right direction

Article Abstract:

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 strengthens the civil rights of working women by making possible both compensatory and punitive damages for those who prove intentional employment discrimination. Working women still face three challenges, however: getting the Equal Remedies Act through Congress in order to remove limits on damages for sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act, monitoring enforcement so that the executive branch's hostility to the act does not result in lax implementation, and convincing courts and administrative agencies to better address discrimination against women of color.

ADA recognizes formal equality is not equal enough

Article Abstract:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) seeks to establish a higher standard of equality than the formal equality that has traditionally been the goal of US civil rights laws. The ADA, by mandating that employers and others make reasonable efforts to accommodate the handicapped, is intended to promote equality by treating different people differently rather than by treating them identically. The ADA ought to be the first step in a more general effort to achieve real equality in the US.
