HILL, ANITA FAY, and EMMA COLEMAN JORDAN, editors. Race, Gender and Power in America: The Legacy of the Hill-Thomas Hearings. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995. 8vo. Hardcover, dust jacket. Light shelfwear.
FIRST EDITION, SIGNED AND INSCRIBED ON THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER BY HILL: "To Justice Ruth B. Ginsburg with respect and admiration. Anita F. Hill 12/7/95." Additionally inscribed by Hill's co-editor: "For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and my colleague Marty Ginsburg, my role models in equality at home and at work. Emma Jordan / 12/7/95."
At Clarence Thomas' Senate confirmation hearings in 1991, his former colleague Anita Hill testified that he had sexually harassed her while he was her supervisor at the United States Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The hearings set off a firestorm of controversy, raising public consciousness about sexual harassment in the workplace even as Thomas accused Hill and others of engaging in a "high-tech lynching." Thomas was ultimately confirmed to the court, where he was joined two years later by Ginsburg.
This volume is a collection of essays by historians, sociologists, activists and legal scholars on the impact of the Hill-Thomas hearings. Topics include how race and gender influenced the hearings and laws that followed, how to stop sexual harassment in the workplace, and how the hearings were represented in media and popular culture, among others.
