I am hopeful that others who have suffered sexual harassment will not become discouraged by my experience, but instead will find the strength to speak out about this serious problem.

The real problem is that the way that power is given out in our society pits us against each other.

The experience of testifying and the aftermath have changed my life

Many women are harassed, one in three between the ages of 18 and 34, by one poll. And we need to figure out if, in fact, we are going to enable them to come forward with their complaints, as opposed to enabling harassers and abusers to continue their behavior.

I was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career

In July of 1983, I left Washington, DC area and have had minimal contact with Judge Clarence Thomas since

I see myself as an educator.
