Description

Drawing on law, philosophy, history, and firsthand accounts, this incisive examination explores the attitudes and institutions that enable sexual harassment and abuse. It traces how objectification, unequal power, workplace cultures, and inadequate systems of accountability have shaped women’s experiences across fields including academia, the arts, politics, and the judiciary. Rather than reducing the issue to a narrative of victimhood, the book presents a nuanced call for dignity, solidarity, reform, and a more just understanding of equality. Its rigorous yet humane analysis shows how lasting progress depends on confronting both individual misconduct and the structures that allow it to persist.
