Class Action: The Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law Audiobook

" Surprise! The case was much more horrific, and dragged on much longer, than in the movie. Also, Charlize Theron is better-looking than the real chick, but Charlize is better looking than I am, too. "

" I'm reading this for my Personal Injury Law class. It is fascinating. "

" A great legal history of the first class action sexual harassment case. It manages to be inspiring, thorough, and fair to both the community affected by the case and the women who suffered to bring the case. The authors are unafraid to make the plaintiffs' suffering real, which is a good sign for a legal history- often the temptation seems to be strong to romanticize the valor of a fight for justice, when really it's just exhausting. Though not as exhausting, the book makes clear, as the harassment that led to the case in the first place. "

" Great-paced, good stories, and excellent relevant (while not tedious) detail to understand the case. I wish all non-fiction could be written like this... "

" Very interesting book about the first class action sexual harassment lawsuit. The story was the basis for the movie North Country, though the movie greatly oversimplified the legal battle, which went on for more than a decade. "

" informative and edutaining. "

" the best account of the difficulty of filing a suit against sexual harassment and the gross failures of sexual harassment law. "

" Good story; not so great writing - but an interesting read... "

" If you're interested in a heavy, but worthwhile read, check this one out. I was taken aback by much of it, and the sexual harassment struggles Lois Jenson endured in a man's world (mining in northern Minnesota) only a few decades ago were eye-opening. "

" The story and case were interesting, but maybe a bit dragged out. "

" This story is reminding me of everything that was wrong with practicing law. I gave it a fair rating for its historical value, not for its entertainment or quality. "

" Shocking that this was happening in the early 80's. I couldn't believe what this woman suffered through. "

" I enjoyed the book, but it took some liberties with the facts. I know the woman who represented the mining company (a good person and a feminist). It would have been nice if Bingham could have interviewed her for the book (the attorney could not discuss the case as that was part of the settlement). "

" Powerful and movinig. beautiofully illustrates the challenges that women went through and the snails pace our justice system can take. "

" A little long (and dull) on detail in the middle, but a compelling story. Read before seeing movie "North Country" (based on the book and the true story). Glad I did in that order. Movie was more dramatic, but book was more interesting (no surprise.) "
