High court orders equal benefits for female GIs
The Supreme Court ruled women in the armed forces are entitled to the same dependents benefits as men in an 8 to 1 decision. It deadlocked on whether sex has the same broad protection as race and alien status. Justice Brennan led the opinion with Justices Nowinski White Marshall in agreement on the discriminatory standard, while a four to four tie on the broader question left the issue unresolved. The ruling highlighted the nation’s ongoing debate over sex discrimination and the Equal Rights Amendment.
