This is another good book by this author. In the 70's and 80's when I was a waittress and sexual harassment was not taken seriously and there was no recourse for a woman to complain to a male boss who said that did not happen. So many cooks, waiters and bosses were always asking me for sex and straight out too. I told them them I was getting out my axe, I would punch them out so they would shutup. One boss who I warned our company about kept getting transferred to other stores where he was racking up 5-6 complaints in each store before he was fired. In my store a waiter found this boss having sex in his car in view of our guests. Nothing was done about that. When men act like this they are called macho and studs and what is the problem anyway. If women do the same stuff we are called very bad names and we get fired. These men I had to put up with made my jobs heck and miserable. Now at least we can file a written complaint.
