In 1970, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in Schultz v. Wheaton Glass Co. that an employer owed women the same compensation as men for jobs that are “substantially equal” even if they are not “identical.” This prevented employers from giving women different titles than men in order to pay them less.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 made it illegal for employers to pass on otherwise qualified female applicants because of the assumption that they might become pregnant. Before this law, women were routinely let go after getting pregnant to spare employers health care and maternity leave costs. Under this law, it became illegal for a woman to be denied a job or promotion or be fired because she is (or may become) pregnant. (credit:Don Carl STEFFEN via Getty Images)

Before “irreconcilable differences” was sufficient grounds for a split, women had to claim, and sometimes prove, that their spouse had mistreated, abandoned, abused or been unfaithful to them in order for the state to approve the separation.
