  • Sexual Harassment Policy in the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Women's Economic Citizenship, 1975-1991
    NOT "PART OF THE JOB": SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY IN THE U.S., THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, AND WOMEN'S ECONOMIC CITIZENSHIP, 1975-1991 Sheila Jones A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2008 Committee: Liette Gidlow, Advisor Neal G. Jesse Graduate Faculty Representative Leigh Ann Wheeler Donald Nieman ii ABSTRACT Liette Gidlow, Advisor This project examines the history of federal sexual harassment policy in the United States between 1975 and 1991. It considers the origins of sexual harassment policy in the mid-1970s and its addition to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) anti- discrimination policy in 1980. Two questions direct this study: Why and how did sexual harassment policy originate in the 1970s? How did policymakers then re-frame it once feminist activists no longer controlled the issue’s definition? This dissertation argues that sexual harassment policy originated in the 1970s because working women and second-wave feminists succeeded in framing the problem as one of women’s economic citizenship rights, or women’s right to work without being sexually harassed. Once feminists lost this influence in the 1980s, conservatives including Reagan administration officials, members of Congress, and anti-feminist activists challenged the EEOC’s policy and altered its enforcement by lessening its protections for working women in favor of employers. Several sources inform this study, including EEOC records, legal cases, congressional hearings, government documents, and scholarship on second-wave feminism and economic citizenship. It finds that, after defining sexual harassment, feminists argued for public policy to stop it.

    Costanza, Midge (1932-2010) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Political activist Midge Costanza had a long and distinguished record as a champion of gay and women's rights. Known for forthright speaking and acerbic wit, she occasionally generated controversy, but even those who disagreed with her acknowledged her firm commitment to her convictions. Constanza's parents, Philip and Concetta Granata Constanza, emigrated from Sicily to upstate New York, where they went into the sausage-making business. Margaret Costanza, who was nicknamed Midge, was born on November 28, 1932 in LeRoy, New York and grew up in Rochester. After graduating from high school and holding various clerical jobs she became the administrative assistant to a Rochester real estate developer. Through this job she became involved in many community organizations. Costanza also took an interest in local politics. Beginning as a volunteer on W. Averell Harriman's campaign for governor in 1954, she rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party, becoming the county executive director of Robert F. Kennedy's Senate campaign in 1964 and a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1972 to 1977. In 1973 Constanza ran for an at-large seat on the Rochester city council and received the largest number of votes in the election, becoming the council's first woman member. Although it was traditional for the leading vote-getter to be named mayor, the council selected a man and named Costanza to the mainly ceremonial post of vice-mayor. Costanza ran for the United State House of Representatives in 1974, but failed to unseat the Republican incumbent.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. In this study, beliefs and convictions are delineated by the extent to which the belief is also operationalized in policy; that is, a conviction is a belief that has been applied in a substantive manner. For example, as we will see in chapter 6 that deals with Reagan’s cognetic narrative, he had a belief that abortion was abhorrent and immoral, but he had a competing conviction that it was not a government’s role to impose limits on freedom of choice. In effect, his conviction about limited government overrode his belief about abortion from becoming a conviction. For members of the Religious Right, for whom prohibiting abortion was clearly a conviction, Reagan managed to assuage them with rhetoric, but the record shows that he did not act in a substantive manner. 2.
