ABSTRACT
Women have long been subjected to sexual harassment at work. Indeed, the subjugation of women to unwelcome touch, solicitation, and outright intimidation for sexual favors has historically been a wellknown and common condition of female employment. This type of sex discrimination exists as a form of everyday sexism for all kinds of women employed in all realms of work. Sexually harassed women span the range from Chicanas employed as maids in private homes in El Paso, Texas (Romero 1992), to highly paid assistants and secretaries at Del Laboratories (Jacobs 1995).
