Sexual harassment is a pervasive social problem in the United
States. In recent years, literature on sexual harassment has
rapidly expanded, as increasing attention has been directed toward
this legal and moral issue. This bibliography surveys the large
amount of literature on sexual harassment published between 1984
and 1994. Included are entries for books, dissertations, and
articles, with entries arranged in topical chapters. Entries for
books and articles include descriptive annotations, and a
chronology traces the recent history of sexual harassment in the
United States.
The problem of sexual harassment was with us long before the
highly publicized 1991 confirmation hearings for Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas. However, Anita Hill's testimony regarding
sexual harassment captured the nation and sparked a public debate
on what had been treated as a private issue. Because of its
subjective nature, sexual harassment has been difficult to quantify
and define. As a result of the pervasiveness and complexity of
sexual harassment, there is now an enormous body of literature on
the topic. This book is a guide to the available material.
From the more than 1,000 citations found by the authors, the
bibliography has been limited to some 534 books, articles, and
dissertations. The works were chosen for their scholarly, original,
or creative contribution to sexual harassment literature. Materials
generally excluded were newspaper articles, popular press
publications, anecdotal reports, and editorial comments or letters.
Entries are arranged in topical chapters, and entries for books and
articles include descriptive annotations. A chronology traces major
developments in sexual harassment legislation in the United States
from the 1964 Civil Rights Act to a 1993 U.S. Supreme Court
case.
