Feminism Lives!

TO celebrate the 20th anniversary of Catharine A. MacKinnon’s Sexual Harassment of Working Women: A Case of Sex Discrimination, the Yale Law School, the Yale University Press, and the University of Michigan Law School banded together to sponsor “Sexual Harassment: A Symposium” during the first weekend in March. Their symposium spilled over three days and eight panel discussions in the Yale Law School auditorium; it was all sexual harassment, all the time.

As was immediately clear, Catharine MacKinnon’s writing had profoundly influenced many of the attendees’ lives. Panelists offered adoring accounts of what they were doing when they first read a book by the harassment-law pioneer, as if recounting where they were when Kennedy was shot.
