  • Women and Equality
    WOMEN AND EQUALITY A California Review of Women’s Equity Issues in Civil Rights, Education and the Workplace California Senate Office of Research February 1999 Dedicated to Senator Rose Ann Vuich Rose Ann Vuich was elected California’s first woman state senator in 1976 and served four terms through 1992. Although a Democrat by registration, she built a reputation as a political independent who shunned deal-making. Throughout her legislative career, Senator Vuich represented her San Joaquin Valley district first and foremost and relied on her own knowledge and judgment to do it. She was reared on a farm in Tulare County, where she has spent most of her life. With a degree in accounting from the Central California Commercial College in Fresno, she worked as an accountant, tax consultant, estate planner and office manager before her election. After becoming a senator she continued, with her brother, to manage the family farm in Dinuba. The California State Senate began to change after Senator Vuich joined its ranks, followed over the years by other women. She kept a small porcelain bell on her Senate floor desk, and would gently but insistently shake it whenever a colleague addressed the “gentlemen of the Senate.” The Senate chamber originally had no women’s restroom. But that oversight permitted Senator Vuich, during a Capitol restoration in the late 1970s, to design a comfortable “Rose Room” where she and women members into the future could retreat from the Senate floor. A daughter of Yugoslav immigrants, Senator Vuich achieved many “firsts,” from serving as the first woman president of the Dinuba Chamber of Commerce to becoming the first woman to preside over a Senate floor session in 1986.

    Mitchell’s Musings April – June 2018 For Employment Policy Research Network (EPRN) Employmentpolicy.org (There are no Mitchell’s Musings for January – March 2018) Note: This compilation will be the last quarterly collection of the regular weekly Mitchell’s Musings. The website for the Employment Policy Research Network - EPRN, while still linked to the larger LERA website, is no longer being supported technically. As a result, images such as charts no longer can be uploaded to employmentpolicy.org. Although past musings are also available on other sites, it has become complicated to keep the series going, hence the discontinuation. One source for back issues is https://archive.org/details/@danieljbmitchell (and search there for musings). Another source is https://issuu.com/danieljbmitchell. 0 Mitchell’s Musings 4-2-2018: Identity vs. Behavior Daniel J.B. Mitchell As we resume these musings after the end of the winter quarter at UCLA (when I am teaching and too busy to write them), it’s worth looking back at events of that period. And it’s worth looking back at some confusions that arose in that period, too. One of those events was the announced imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs. Let’s put aside the question of whether those tariffs were a good idea, either politically or economically. There has been much confusion in the popular news media as experts – who generally opposed the tariffs - were interviewed. From Forbes: …Our deficit will not be reduced by enforcing trade rules, renegotiating existing trade pacts, or forming new ones. While these policies might shuffle the deck and alter the bilateral trade balances the U.S.
