[...] Wave Feminists and Public Accommodations in U.S. Cities In states and cities where statutory prohibitions did not exist, the exclusion of women stemmed from the social and cultural practices of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which kept women out of everywhere from the Red Door Tavern in Columbus, Ohio, to McCarthy's Bar in Syracuse, New York.5 In the early twentieth century, Progressive reformers supported codification of these customs, believing they protected women's virtue and reputation in dangerous cities where economic need and a lack of parental guidance made many working-class women vulnerable to exploitation.

By this rule, the Department of Justice is extending the date for compliance with certain requirements in the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) that relate to provision of accessible entry and exit for swimming pools, wading pools, and spas. This final rule, based on a finding of good cause, changes the date for compliance from March 15, 2012, to May 21, 2012 in order to allow additional time to address misunderstandings regarding compliance with these ADA requirements. Some pool owners and operators believed that taking certain steps would always satisfy their obligations under the ADA when in fact those steps would not necessarily result in compliance with the ADA regulations.
