Summary:
"The first history -- incisive, witty, fascinating -- of the fight
against
sexual
harassment
. [...] Linda Hirshman, [...] historian of social movements, delivers the sweeping story of the struggle leading up to #MeToo and beyond: from the first tales of workplace
harassment
percolating to the surface in the 1970s, to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal -- when liberal women largely forgave Clinton, giving men a free pass for two decades. Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus. And yet, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the takedown of abusers and harassers.
Reckoning
delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, women flooded the political landscape, and the walls of male privilege finally began to crack. This is revelatory, essential social history."--From publisher.
