Freada Kapor Klein quoted in Chicago Tribune article regarding sexual harassment. Excerpt:
The Hill-Thomas episode triggered a national debate on the issue of sexual harassment and prompted greater attention to the problem in the workplace. Prior to Hill’s allegations, “sexual harassment was largely not discussed at work. Most people recognize the Hill-Thomas hearings as a major watershed,” said Freada Kapor Klein, San Francisco-based diversity consultant and author of the upcoming book, “Giving Notice, Why the Best and the Brightest Leave the Workplace.”
“Millions of employers now discuss where is that boundary between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Is it different with my peers than with my boss? Is it always inappropriate to talk about my sex life?” she said. “There has been a decrease in the more blatant forms of harassment and an increase in the more subtle forms.”
