Jimmy Carter, whose prolific postpresidential career as an author has covered aging, his Southern boyhood and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is now tackling the treatment of women.According to a book proposal that has circulated among several major publishers in the last week, Mr. Carter plans to write a 50,000-word book about "all aspects of women's lives" that explores the unequal treatment of women around the world and the use of religious texts to justify discrimination.
The book proposal, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, was sent to publishers by Lynn Nesbit, the literary agent whose clients include Joan Didion and Robert A. Caro.
