Abstract
Sexual harassment law as a subset of employment discrimination is a well-established field of feminist research. (See, for example, Hartel and Von Ville's annotated bibliography [1995], which contains 535 references including dissertations, books, and articles published between 1984 and 1994). In her book, Francis, a professor of law at the University of Utah, contributes to this dialogue as she poses ethical dilemmas arising from the clash between academic values and sexual harassment case law. Part 1 consists of seven self-authored chapters that frame and analyze the issues and their ethical implications. Part 2 incorporates essays reprinted from other sources that probe assumptions and discuss ethical dilemmas that arise when sexual harassment claims are raised in professional contexts, for example, faculty-student or attorney-client relationships. Having reviewed numerous texts on this topic, I believe that this book stands on its own merits in explaining the origins of sexual harassment, tracking its development through a cogent analysis of case law, and providing a balanced view of moral arguments to be weighed in reconciling contradictory claims.
