Summary
In 1991, Anita Hill shed new light on sexual harassment when she testified during Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Thirty years later, while awareness is at an all-time high, society’s approach to dealing with gender-based violence socially, legally, and legislatively still falls far short of where it needs to be. In her recent book, BELIEVING: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence, Hill uses her decades of experience to show the pervasive impact of gender-based violence and what needs to change.
