The Shield of Silence: How Power Perpetuates a Culture of Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace looks at the culture of the workplace and its impact on women and other groups who bear the impact of sexual harassment, bullying, lewd and inappropriate remarks, and other behaviors that can negatively impact the experiences of people each day.

 

Immigrant Women Workers

Bernice Yeung’s In A Day’s Work: The Fight to End Sexual Violence Against American’s Most Vulnerable Workers exposes the underbelly of economies filled with employers who take advantage of immigrant women’s need to earn a basic living. When these women find the courage to speak up, Yeung reveals, they are too often met by apathetic bosses and underresourced government agencies. But In a Day’s Work also tells a story of resistance, introducing a group of courageous allies who challenge dangerous and discriminatory workplace conditions alongside aggrieved workers—and win. Moving and inspiring, this book will change our understanding of the lives of immigrant women.
