Linda Hirshman and Rebecca Traister on the fight against sexual harassment

Jun 19, 2019

In the battle against sexual abuse and harassment, one question keeps coming up: What took us so long to confront it?

Join two of today’s most brilliant voices on feminism for an incisive, witty, and fascinating discussion about Hirshman’s new book, Reckoning, and the full history of the fight against sexual harassment—from the first stories of workplace harassment in the ’70s, to Harvey Weinstein and the watershed #MeToo movement. Hirshman and Traister cover the legal cases that quietly prepared the way for the takedown of the abusers and harassers of the workplace, and share stories of the most important—and often most unsung—feminist heroes of the past 50 years.
