The Stakes

The Invention of 'Sexual Harassment'


Listen Later

If you want to change the law, you have to name the problem. That's why, in 1975, five to eight women in a room in Ithaca, New York came up with two words that changed the law, and the workplace, forever. But as you'll hear, victory really has a thousand mothers.

- Susan Meyer, a founder of Working Women United

Hosted by Kai Wright. Produced by Jessica Miller.
