With Liberty and Justice for All develops a conceptual framework for using human rights as a legal and popular education tool as well as for political mobilizing among women activists working in the United States.

Concrete issues around socio-economic rights and violence against women are discussed to show how a human rights vision could facilitate action at the local, national and international level.
