he purpose of this book is to provide ac-<br >cess to the available information， as well<br >as the full range of thought， on sexual ha-<br >rassment in employment and education. It is<br >not intended to promote any particular view，<br >except the view that all commentators<br >should be heard and considered. Historical<br >and factual background information is of-<br >fered， along with resources for further explo-<br >ration into the legal， social， psychological，<br >and political aspects of sexual harassment.<br >Because this work gathers together a wide<br >array of information not available in any<br >other single source， it may prove helpful to<br >many different people--students， research-<br >ers， writers， journalists， historians， and ac-<br >tivists， as well as individuals who are inter-<br >ested in clarifying their own thoughts and<br >feelings about sexual harassment. In this fast-<br >changing and evolving field， however， be<br >aware that any single source mentioned may<br >be out-of-date by the time you read this book.<br > A particular attempt has been made to<br > include writers and activists who question<br > the whole idea of the imposition of legal or<br > social penalties for what is called sexual<br > harassment. Such voices are few and have<br > been difficult to identify， because there is a<br > lack of expression of what seems to be an<br > increasingly unpopular viewpoint.<br >
