It's not a pretty subject--but someone has to talk about it. Sexual harassment can confront any age and any gender in the workplace. Lawyer Boland defines it in the two legal ways--quid pro quo and a hostile work environment--then explains the corporate point of view, remedies, and legal resources.

Williams and Dempsey's analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels of advice like a "New Girl Action Plan," ways to "Take Care of Yourself", and even "Comeback Lines" for dealing with sexual harassment and other difficult situations.

More than one in five women and 5 percent of men are sexually assaulted while at college. Some survivors are coming forward; others are not.

A former Southern Methodist University track star's account of how she survived a brutal rape that changed her life. The author vowed that her life would go on just as it had before the attack, but in the two years that followed, she found out just how difficult it would be to keep that promise to herself. 

With remarkable emotional insight and precision, mystery writer Winslow (The Red House) turns to memoir to narrate the long-delayed prosecution of the man who raped her two decades ago.  When her case is reopened in 2013 by a DNA match in another case, Winslow navigates a bureaucratic nightmare of delays, observing that "waiting isn't a sea that gradually approaches a beach; it's a wet pit with vertical walls." She probes the depths of rape victimhood and its social connotations, comparing expectations to "be a perfect little broken princess" with the reality of her situation. 

Drawing on sociology and neuroscience as well as anecdotal evidence, Amy, director of Georgia State University's Women's and Gender Studies Program, creates a memoir centered on her family's dysfunction, evolving into a detailed study of military "hypermasculinity," which builds soldiers by stripping away humanity. This learned violence, she says, migrates from the adrenaline-soaked battlefield to the home, recreating the military cycle of control and abuse. Equally damaging is this system's encouraging silence from women trying to remain loyal to their men and country. 

Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. Here, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust.

The Internet is sometimes viewed as an equal playing field for those of different backgrounds: class, race, gender, and sexual identity. In her first book, Poland exposes this misconception by arguing that the digital realm has been a breeding ground for racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment since its inception. The author examines the roots and consequences of cybersexism from an intersectional point of view with the support of real-world examples and specific legal cases. 

Describes sexual harassment in school and at work, explains the relationship of harassment to sex discrimination, and explores methods of preventing gender bias and harassment.

Taslitz (law, Howard Univ.) explores language in the courtroom in rape trials, showing how the constructed narratives in courtroom dramas in rape cases reinforce sexual and racial stereotypes. The book illustrates these themes by drawing on materials from well-known cases. Taslitz argues that the problems do not reside only, or even primarily, with irresponsible attorneys, but are inherent in the form and structure of evidence law, as well as in the very nature of the adversary system.

In True Gentlemen, Hechinger embarks on a deep investigation of SAE and fraternity culture generally, exposing the vast gulf between its founding ideals and the realities of its impact on colleges and the world at large. He shows how national fraternities are reacting to a slowly dawning new reality, and asks what the rest of us should do about it. Should we ban them outright, or will they only be driven underground? Can an institution this broken be saved? With rare access and skillful storytelling, Hechinger draws a fascinating and necessary portrait of an institution in deep need of reform, and makes a case for how it can happen.

The debate over sexual violence on campus is reaching fever pitch, from headlines about out-of-control fraternities, to the "mattress protests" by female students at Columbia University and other colleges. The Hunting Ground, the new documentary by award-winning filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, has taken this debate to a new level. Now, in a new companion volume to the film, all those concerned about the "rape culture" on campus will be offered an inside perspective on the controversy, as well as reactions to the film from a range of leading writers and guidance on how to learn more and get active. 

Based on nearly 400 interviews with mainly white, middle-class, college-educated youths, the author's findings are at once commonsensical and provocative, demonstrating the prevalence of this lifestyle of entitlement and instant gratification. The book raises important questions about a "guy code" of silence that encourages them to disregard the sometimes extreme behaviors (binge drinking, bullying, predatory sex, etc.) of other males. A useful, highly readable overview of an important social phenomenon. 

Smart, clear-eyed, and irreverent, Unspeakable Things is a fresh look at gender and power in the twenty-first century, which asks difficult questions about dissent and desire, money and masculinity, sexual violence, menial work, mental health, queer politics, and the Internet. Unspeakable Things is a book that is eye-opening not only in the critique it provides, but also in the revolutionary alternatives it imagines.
