Alice Bobo, an African-American woman, was employed by Continental Baking Company in a production position. She was fired because she refused to wear a hat as part of her uniform; she claimed that her male co-workers were not required to wear such hats. She filed suit against Continental Baking under 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, alleging that her discharge was due to gender and race discrimination.

Can she pursue her claims under 42 U.S.C.
Section 1981? Explain your answer. See Bobo v.
Continental Baking Co. [662 F.2d 340 (5th Cir.
1981)].
