From the Archives: A Personal Essay by Emily DePrang

Posted by Sarah

 

In 2005 Ms. Emily DePrang wrote a great essay about being fired for sexual harassment for our Sex at Work issue.

“For the next week, a little voice piped up every few seconds to remind me — you're a pervert. People who knew you were grossed out by you. People you shared cigarettes with were disturbed enough to trot downstairs and report you. However absurd their definition of sexual harassment, I had met it.”

Emily is not the first person who comes to mind when you think of sexual harassment. But she make it through ok, and her professional career didn’t suffer for it.
