New Yale Scholarship: Note: Hostility to the Presence of Women
Posted by James Grimmelmann on Monday, August 09 @ 00:10:00 EDT Scholarship
Ramit Mizrahi, Note, "Hostility to the Presence of Women": Why Women Undermine Each Other in the Workplace and the Consequences for Title VII 113 YALE L.J. 1579 (2004).

(Abstract prepared by James Grimmelmann)

When a woman harasses a female coworker out of competitiveness or jealousy, can such harassment be sex-based? Can it give rise to a sexual harassment hostile work environment claim? This Note argues that the answer to both questions is yes because, in many instances of female-onfemale harassment, women in the workplace are undermining each other as women. Moreover, female-on-female harassment is often created by sex segregation and discrimination in the workplace, and falls squarely under the coverage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
