Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
One hundred women, selected by the authors and representing a wide variety of work/life experience, responded to 50 scenarios in which sexual harassment may have occurred. The women responded by indicating whether they would have been offended had they been "Ellen," who represents everywoman in each scenario. Following the scenarios, the authors review recent judicial decisions regarding sexual harassment, discuss male and female differences in perceptions of appropriate behavior, and offer practical suggestions that employers can implement not merely to be in compliance with the law but to insure that women are respected and welcomed in the workplace. Recommended for academic and special libraries.

Useful scenarios and solutions,
By Negombo "Lo" (Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harassed: 100 Women Define Inappropriate Behavior in the Workplace (Paperback)
This book goes over 50 scenarios of what might be considered sexual harassment. The percentage of women viewing each scenario as offensive or inoffensive are given, as well as their individual views relevant to each case.
It covers most situations women have had to endure in the workplace and provides step by step solutions, as well as a discussion of the monetary cost of discrimination to corporations (not merely measured in lawsuits, but in time and productivity lost). A good logical overwiew of the issue of discrimination and sex harassment as it applies to American workplaces. I also recommend for more practical and down to earth advice, R. Don Steele's Office Politics.
