The Invention of 'Sexual Harassment'

Update: 2019-07-16

Description

If you want to change the law, you have to name the problem. That's why, in 1975, five to eight women in a room in Ithaca, New York came up with two words that changed the law, and the workplace, forever. But as you'll hear, victory really has a thousand mothers.

You'll hear from:

- Linda Hirschman, author of Reckoning: The Epic Battle Against Sexual Abuse and Harassment

- Susan Meyer, a founder of Working Women United

- Faith Hochberg, former Federal Judge

Hosted by Kai Wright. Produced by Jessica Miller.
