Back Off! is filled with real-life success stories from women who have stopped harassers cold:
'Back Off!' is the first book to focus on the direct-action tactics that work and the first to deal with harassment everywhere it takes place, in both blue-collar and white-collar jobs, at school, on the street, on the bus or subway, in the park, even in church.
'Back Off'! examines the dynamics of sex and power in sexual harassment, the motives behind harassers' actions, and why traditional responses such as appeasement or aggression don't work, and describes the successful resistance strategies that you really can use, including nonviolent personal confrontation techniques, group confrontations, administrative remedies, and formal lawsuits.
