Annotated Bibliography on Sexual Harassment

Hill to the Sorbonne. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003. Web.
Abigail Saguy at the time she was writing this book was a college like me.
She made a book on the topic sexual harassment; she explained the meaning
of sexual harassment. She states that sexual harassment is hostile
environment, in which a boss or colleague creates an abusive or hostile
environment by making unwanted sexual comments, demands for sex,
sexual jokes, or sexist insults that are sufficiently severe or pervasive as to
alter the conditions of a victims employment and to create an abusive
working environment. This source is relevant to my topic because it gives
a set definition to what sexual harassment means. This is very important to
me because it gives me an opportunity to be able to look into to depth of this
topic.

purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work

because I was able to see a set of conditions towards sexual harassment.

In this newspaper column there call to action letter for something to be done
about sexual harassment. The author was very into what she was writing
about. This source made me want to try and do something myself. She states
I am reminded of this classic study when I provide education and training on
sexual harassment for campuses, because it illustrates how sexual
harassment can confront victims with perceptions that are often invalidated
by those around them. And the more the womanand it is predominantly
women who are victimsseeks validation for her view about the events that
have occurred to her, the more hostile and rejecting her world becomes, until
she feels she is failing in her most important life roles This source is relevant
to my topic because it give an outlook on how serious this situation really is.
