That existing courses be reviewed, and a course on women and the law be added for credit;

That the Law Review take on women seriously as writers, and produce articles relevant "to the legally-oppressed majority";

That firms suspected of discrimination against women in hiring and promotion be investigated, and denied use of the Law School's placement facilities if discrimination is found;

That the "comprehensive insured medical care" now offered by the Law School be expanded to include gynecological facilities for women;

That child-care facilities be available to all students and employees; and

That the Law School "become a place for human beings, not a work-obsessed skillbank for big firms."

"I can begin to understand how a woman feels at Harvard Law School," Steinem said. "She is lonely; the only staff people who look like her are secretaries and maids. She begins to spend a lot more time getting mad as hell."

She criticized the Law School curriculum for ignoring legal problems relevant to women, saying "In Constitutional Law there is no mention of the Equal Rights Amendment, in Family Law there is no mention of how women lose their civil rights when married, and Labor Law doesn't mention the protective legislation that applies to women."

"Just last night," she added, "an eminent professor of Law admitted he didn't know what the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was. The same man replied to the demand that a female full professor be hired by saying that this would cause too many problems on the Faculty because of sexual vibrations.'"

Calling for "the humanization of the work pattern," Steinem said, "The idea that masculinity depends on the subjugation of other people has gotten us in almost as much trouble here as in Vietnam."

"Maybe if we live this revolution," she said in the conclusion of her speech, "put it to work in our daily life, language, and attitudes, maybe this will be a suitable end to the second 5000-year period.

"Maybe the historians-legal and otherwise-will look back at this period as the first time in history that the human animal stopped dividing by physical differences, and started to look at our real potential," she said.
