Description

"Correcting many common misapprehension, Mink explains sexual harassment as a legal concept and charts its judicial and legislative history. She shows the many important contributions feminists have made to the development of sexual harassment law. She also, however, develops a stringent critique of feminist responses to the president's lies in the Jones case.". "Sometimes scathing, Hostile Environment provides a fresh perspective on the recent politics of sexual harassment. It also provides a highly personal perspective. Firsthand knowledge of the injuries caused by sexual harassment and its aftermath has left Mink with an abiding interest in this volatile issues and with a desire to safeguard the rights of sexually harassed women - especially the most economically vulnerable among them."--BOOK JACKET.
