We’ve been waiting to hear from Dr. Blasey-Ford (and now we have her fabulous memoir, too). Really great interviews.

United Statesa year ago - Such an important series
I was months old when Professor Anita Hill testified in front of the Supreme Court. I was in my late 20s when Dr. Christine Blasey Ford went through the process. Both of these women are heroes.
Thank the creators of this series for not only developing this project but discussing the nuance and importance of these women’s stories. I have listened to this series more than once because it is so important.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Unfortunately, negative implications such as women competing with other women over the affections of men, EEOC sometimes ineffectiveness and wives standing by the side of adulterous husbands still exist. I was in my 30’s during Professor Hill’s testimony. The fact that Thomas coupled with a white woman was proof eno... more
Apple Podcasts5mrsednaUnited States3 years ago - It is a problem
I totally am in agreement that Anita Hill did get harassed throughout her career. If you listen and review Brett Cavanaugh I’m not so sure that I would compare the 2.
Thomas continued to harass Anita for years after she said no, not that once is not enough because it is. No is no.
cavanaughs was a teenager and has shown throughout entire adulthood not one indiscretion and no one else has come forward at a day and time when it is looked at ok to do so.
I 100% believe and have experienced haras... more
