PositiveThe New York Review of Books...a bleak but much-needed addition to the literature on sexual harassment in the US ... In a Day’s Work suggests how the struggles of working-class women align with those of their sisters in the creative class. It offers an opportunity rarely found in our class-polarized society: to bring together women across economic levels around a single issue. What might make this opportunity hard to seize is that the outcome of sexual harassment is significantly different for women of varying social classes and occupations ... what Yeung’s book suggests primarily is that feminists don’t need a policy program first. Rather, we need unity, or, as we used to say, sisterhood ... Whatever else it involves, building a cross-class movement, as Yeung shows, will mean learning to stop unseeing the working women around us.
