Abstract	Major activities of the California Commission on the Status of Women during 1974-75 are described, and summaries are presented which characterize the status of women in California in areas of social, political, and economic life. Established by the state legislature in 1965, the Commission has among its goals the study of changing roles and responsibilities of women, elimination of inequities in law, operation as an information center for government and the public, and provision of technical and consultive advice to groups working toward women's equity. During 1974-75, the Commission conducted public awareness activities, developed publications, and supported legislative changes for women in areas of legal equity, credit, government participation, insurance, child care, education, counseling, employment, and the media. Seven chapters explore these areas in detail, giving statistical information and explanations of women's changing status. Each chapter reviews recent legislation which promotes equity for women. Also presented are lists of resources and some Commission publications on the topics covered. Appendices identify California city, county, and community commissions on the status of women; regulatory agencies; member groups of the California Coalition for the Equal Rights Amendment; and resource organizations concerned with women's equity.
