Reckoning

Linda Hirshman, acclaimed historian of social movements, delivers the sweeping story of the struggle leading up to #MeToo and beyond: from the first tales of workplace harassment percolating to the surface in the 1970s, to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal—when liberal women largely forgave Clinton, giving men a free pass for two decades. Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus.

Nevertheless, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the take-down of abusers and harassers. Reckoning delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world and flooded the political landscape. This is a revelatory, essential social history.

Linda Hirshman, aclamata istorica a miscarilor sociale, ofera povestea cuprinzatoare a luptei care a dus la #MeToo si nu numai: de la primele povesti despre hartuirea la locul de munca care au trecut la suprafata in anii 1970, pana la scandalul Clinton-Lewinsky - cand femeile liberale in mare parte l-a iertat pe Clinton, oferindu-le barbatilor un permis gratuit timp de doua decenii.
