- This book analyzes the historical and legal developments concerning public awareness of sexual harassment experienced by women in the United States. The book considers theoretical perspectives and major Supreme Court decisions and analyzes the story of Anita Hill, who accused her executive Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. The book also examines examples of sexual harassment in academic settings and illustrates how sexual misconduct persists in the military. After considering political cases of sexual harassment, the book focuses on the #MeToo movement and finally looks at the present legal and cultural context.
