BOOK REVIEW

An excerpt from a book review by Donald G. Weiland, Esq., which was published in the CHICAGO DAILY LAW BULLETIN on April 29, 1998:

"Morewitz's book presents an interesting and informative historical perspective...Morewitz saves the reader from too many dry charts and statistical studies with his very readable and engaging text...Certainly this book presents a lot of information and debate on the questions (on the changing nature of sexual harassment)."
