Professor Anita Hill Thirty Years On
Thirty years ago, Professor Anita Hill faced an all-male, all-white Senate Judiciary Committee - led by the then-Senator Joe Biden - to testify that her boss, Supreme Court Justice nominee Clarence Thomas, had sexually harassed her.
It was a landmark moment for these issues and inspired countless women to come forward with their stories, to file complaints, and even to run for office; creating an unintentional trail blazer.
She talks to Emma Barnett about her new book Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence, and how we can stop misogyny and violence against women from becoming systemic.
