1975, Part 9: The New York Times Names Sexual Harassment

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! In our return to 1975, we're joined by Georgia State University Professor of Law Emerita Andrea Curcio for a fascinating look back at a pivotal moment in social and legal history. In 1975, The New York Times published an article that marked the first recognized use of the term "sexual harassment." We explore the cultural and workplace climate of the mid-1970s, the origins and impact of the term, and how it shaped legal protections in the decades that followed. Professor Curcio brings historical context and legal insight, connecting that moment nearly 50 years ago to ongoing conversations about gender, power, and workplace rights today.
