Reviews
As an expert witness, educator, and activist in the field of sexual harassment prevention, I found Unwelcome and Unlawful extremely useful for women, for lawyers, and for human resource professionals. Raymond F. Gregory has written a very helpful and readable book that combines a thoughtful discussion of legal theory and case law. -K. C. Wagner, Director, Workplace Issues, Cornell-ILR
Employment and discrimination attorney Gregory believes that most working American women encounter sexually harassing situations at some point in their careers. His book aims to help readers recognize what constitutes sexual harassment under the law and understand what to do about it... The author uses actual cases as illustrations and is particularly adept at putting harassment law in the context of social and cultural changes. Highly recommended. -Library Journal, July 2004 Gregory eloquently uses the essence of dozens of precedent-setting appellate cases to elucidate the major legal theories in sexual harassment litigation. By using a style that is not too academic, the author helps trial attorneys and their clients recognize the themes in the fact patterns and understand the rational underpinnings of the often confusing court decisions. If a client, friend, or relative is contemplating a sexual harassment claim, he or she should read this book and relive the experience of people who have walked down that road... This is an important addition to the sexual harassment law library. The author synthesizes a quarter-century of legal developments. -Mary Dryovage, Trial, October 2004 Unwelcome and Unlawful is highly readable and extremely valuable for working women who may experience harassment. -Martha Burk, Chair, National Council of Women's Organizations As an expert witness, educator, and activist in the field of sexual harassment prevention, I found Unwelcome and Unlawful extremely useful for women, for lawyers, and for human resource professionals. Raymond F. Gregory has written a very helpful and readable book that combines a thoughtful discussion of legal theory and case law. -K. C. Wagner, Director, Workplace Issues, Cornell-ILR
