  • [The authors] prove once again that selected, annnotated, printed bibliographies are still of enormous value in the information process....Hartel and VonVille have filled a bibliographic gap in the exploding field of sexual harassment... The descriptive annotations...are crisp in guiding the researcher into the various works. A particularly nice feature is that these annotations for the article entries include the number of references to related sources, making the research steps easier. Certainly the subject index and the appendix of key laws and court cases provide added research value. This bibliography would be useful in public, academic, and corporate or law libraries. There is no comparable work covering these publishing years,

Description: 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.
