An author and professor of social policy, law, and women’s studies at Brandeis University, Anita Hill is known for her groundbreaking work raising awareness nationwide on the issue of sexual harassment. As a result of her efforts, Congress passed a law that allowed sexual harassment victims to seek damage awards as well as back pay and reinstatement.

As counsel to Cohen Milstein, Hill currently advises on class action workplace discrimination cases. Her latest book is Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race and Finding Home in which she explores issues of gender and race and how they connect to issues of equality, sexual harassment and the current housing crisis. She has also written her biography, Speaking Truth to Power, and co-edited with Professor Emma Coleman Jordan, Race, Gender and Power in America: The Legacy of the Hill-Thomas Hearings. Time, Inc., Newsweek, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Ms. Magazine have published Hill’s commentary and she has appeared on national television programs including Good Morning America, Meet the Press, The Today Show, The Tavis Smiley Show, and Larry King Live.
