Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are some situations in which the employer may permit the hiring of women but not if there are other factors present-for example, no hiring of women who are pregnant, are married, are over a certain age, have children under a certain age, or are unmarried with children. This is "gender-plus" discrimination. Minnie's case seems to represent gender discrimination, or possibly discrimination based on race or national origin.
