Fred Strebeigh (on Joe Biden and the Violence Against Women Act), "Ladies' Man: The backslapping, bloviating hero of women's rights," The New Republic, September 24, 2008
This article for the New Republic, drawn from Part 5 of Equal, narrates the collaboration of Joe Biden with women activists and women judges to shape the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 and then to contend against fierce and mostly male resistance in Washington, particularly from the Supreme Court.
