RECKONING The Epic Battle against Sexual Abuse and Harassment

Hirshman's nuanced exploration of the legal, cultural, and political aspects of sexual abuse and harassment in the U.S. finds a lively and wise guide in narrator Carrington MacDuffie. She speaks precisely in a slightly husky voice that draws in listeners. Her tone and emphasis bring home Hirshman's points even though MacDuffie isn't emotionalizing her narration. Hirshman explores some of the most renowned precedents in sexual assault and harassment--from the inclusion of sex in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Clarence Thomas Senate hearings and the Monica Lewinsky scandal through the #MeToo movement.
