Equal Protection-- Gender Equality

I have agreed to do a series of plates for the Oregon Women Lawyers annual auction. This image is of the "Honk-N-Holler" in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The owner of the establishment sued to challenge a state law that set the age for the purchase of "nonintoxicating" beer for women at eighteen and at twenty-one for men. The case, Craig v. Boren established a higher level of scrutiny for evaluating the constitutionality of laws that treat men and women differently.
