I belong to a non-profit historical organization that has
never had a female member, probably due to the nature of
our group. Excuse me for being so vague. At a recent
event, our "leader" made a statement, when asked if there
were any female members, that we were a "living history
organization and women were not allowed 140 years ago, and
we are maintaining that living history." Some of us were
quite disturbed by these comments and want clarification
regarding ourm obligations under the equal rights laws. We
are hesitant to go to the local city attorney because we
don't want to jeopardize our funding.

I have tried looking up equal rights & civil rights laws,
but can't find anything that pertains. Could someone give
me some direction on where to look. Thanks
