What to Do when You Don t Want to Call the Cops by Joan Kennedy Taylor Book PDF Summary
Taylor is identified as the national coordinator of the Association of Libertarian Feminists and a founding member of Feminists for Free Expression. From her introduction: "This is a book that began with asking a number of women how they handled unpleasant encounters in the workplace, and how they would suggest that others handle them. I then explored hundreds of articles on the general subject of sexual harassment..." Writing primarily to women, she describes the scope of the problem, discusses male group culture, challenges assumptions that men should make all the changes and that women must turn to the law for help when the workplace is uncomfortable, and proposes strategies to establish increased understanding and communication.
