Liza Featherstone's Selling Women Short is a well-researched, carefully outlined indictment of Wal-Mart's poor treatment of its female employees. The book is primarily a report on the pending class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart, which looks to come to trial in the next year or two and pits 1.6 million women against Wal-Mart. The book seems to have been hastily edited--there are the occasional obvious typo and some avoidable repetition; however, for anyone interested in discrimination or the behemoth that is Wal-Mart, this one's definitely worth a read.
