5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting use of fiction,
This review is from: Telling Stories Out of Court: Narratives about Women and Workplace Discrimination (Paperback)
This interesting book uses fiction along with case law to discuss sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and other issues that women encounter in the workplace. It would be an excellent volume to use in course on law, work and organizations, or sociology of gender. The choice of short stories are also excellent. O'Brien has selected many terrrific authors and short stories to make her points about how law operates in workplace organizations. My only criticism -- and it's a minor one -- is that I wished the author said more about why she chose fiction over interviews with women workers. I can think of many reasons, for instance, plaintifss in court cases often wish to be anonymous or, perhaps, don't want to dwell on the ways they have been victimized. Nonetheless, it would have been helpful if the author had explained her rationale more thoroughly. Still, this is an excellent volume and I highly recommend it. General readers who want to learn more about sex discrimination will also find it useful.
