"The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that sexual harassment of an employee by a supervisor violates the Federal law against sex discrimination in the workplace, " the New York Times announced in 1986.
"In 1908," Professor Reva Siegel writes in the introduction to Directions In Sexual Harassment Law, "settlement workers Grace Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge took a saloon-keeper to court who fired a young barmaid when he discovered that she was about to bear a child by him." It was one of the first cases of its kind, not least because of the lawyers themselves: Abbott and Breckinridge were among the first women to pass the bar in America, and would go on to be pioneering feminist social workers and legal minds. The woman in question was an immigrant named Bozena who had come to America from Bohemia, what is now the Czech Republic.
Louisa May Alcott. Louisa May Alcott is now deservedly famous for the book Little Women, but in 1874, as an adult, she also published an account of the sexual coercion and injustice she'd suffered as a domestic servant at the age of 18 in the household of an unnamed family.
A book for female servants, Eliza Haywood's A Present for A Servant-Maid, published in 1743, had entire sections on how to protect oneself from assault and attentions from male masters, unmarried and married. And a legal case from 1716 brings home just how little had altered.
Bozena, as Grace Abbott's sister Edith records in her memoirs, gave birth to a baby girl, was supported by Breckinridge and Abbott at their organization Hull House, took English classes, and would eventually marry a farmer and settle down happily.
In the medieval period in Europe, women's work was extremely limited compared to men's employment choices, but it included domestic employment. That's the realm where this early example of a woman going on record as fighting harassment by an employer comes from.
