Anita Hill on Fighting Sexual Harassment

The initial allegations against Harvey Weinstein have opened the floodgates for what seems to be an unrelenting stream of sexual harassment claims against the powerful. But this isn’t the first time the country has had to reckon with inappropriate behavior in the workplace. In 1991, Anita Hill testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the alleged harassment of Clarence Thomas, who was ultimately confirmed to the Supreme Court. This week, Francesca and Rebecca look back at the decades since her testimony and talk about what has and hasn’t changed. We hear from Hill, who Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait interviewed at Bloomberg’s “Year Ahead” conference, about how we can take the current moment and create safer workplaces.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
