ANITA HILL-Speaking Truth to Power-1st Edition, Printing-BRAND NEW Hardcover DJ!

Description: Hi! You're looking at a BRAND NEW and UNREAD condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a remarkable memoir by ANITA HILL, best known for challenging the Supreme Court nomination of CLARENCE THOMAS--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy. This book has a couple of tiny dings on the upper right tips of a couple of the central pages, a tiny piece of clear tape on the lower spine end, and slight dings on the spine tips and is in PERFECT shape otherwise! The book is titled Speaking Truth to Power and it was written by ANITA HILL; it was published by Doubleday in October 1997 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.After her astonishing testimony in the Clarence Thomas hearings, Anita Hill ceased to be a private citizen and became a public figure at the white-hot center of an intense national debate on how men and women relate to each other in the workplace. That debate led to groundbreaking court decisions and major shifts in corporate policies that have had a profound effect on our lives--and on Anita Hill's life. Now, with remarkable insight and total candor, Anita Hill reflects on events before, during, and after the hearings, offering for the first time a complete account that sheds startling new light on this watershed event.Only after reading her moving recollection of her childhood on her family's Oklahoma farm can we fully appreciate the values that enabled her to withstand the harsh scrutiny she endured during the hearings and for years afterward. Only after reading her detailed narrative of the Senate Judiciary proceedings do we reach a new understanding of how Washington--and the media--rush to judgment. And only after discovering the personal toll of this wrenching ordeal, and how she copes, do we gain new respect for this extraordinary woman.Here is a vitally important work that allows us to understand why Anita Hill did what she did, and thereby brings resolution to one of the most controversial episodes in our nation's history.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
