Summary

This explosive investigation of the historic sex-discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart reveals how the self-styled "family-oriented" company systematically betrays its workers. Selling Women Short combines the personal stories of the Wal-Mart employees with superb investigative journalism to show why women who work low-wage jobs are getting a raw deal and what they are doing about it.
