Younger targets housing bias against divorced women
California Attorney General Evelle Younger moved to bar apartment discrimination against divorced women with children. He outlined amending the Rumford Act to ban discrimination by sex and marital status, expanding current protections beyond race and origin. The move stems from Younger’s Women’s Rights Task Force begun in January 1974, which also probes insurance bias and sex stereotyping in education.
