The first historyincisive, witty, fascinatingof thefight against sexual harassment, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Sisters in LawLinda Hirshman, acclaimed historian ofsocial movements,delivers the sweeping story of the struggle leading up to #MeToo and beyond:from thefirsttales of workplaceharassment percolating to the surfacein the 1970s to theClinton/Lewinsky scandalwhen liberal women largely forgave Clinton, giving men a free pass for two decades. Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus. And yet, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the takedown of abusers and harassers. Reckoning delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, women flooded the political landscape, and the walls of male privilege finally began to crack. This is revelatory, essential social history.
