Catcalls, Wolf Whistles, Verbal Slurs, Pinches, Stalkingvirtually Every Woman Has Experienced Some Form Of Unwanted Public Attention By Men. Off The Street, In Semipublic Places Such As Restaurants And Department Stores, Women Often Suffer The Insult Of Being Passed Over By Employees Eager To Serve Men. How Pervasive Is This Behavior? How Dangerous Can It Be? What, If Anything, Should Be Done About It?Passing By, An Illuminating, Unsettling Work, Explores The Important Yet Littleexamined Issue Of Genderrelated Public Harassment. Based On Extensive Researchincluding Indepth Interviews With Nearly Fivehundred Midwestern Women And Menit Documents The Many Types Of Indignity Visited On Women In Public Places. As Carol Brooks Gardner Demonstrates, These Indignities Cross All Lines Of Age, Class, And Ethnicity And Follow A Typical Pattern Whereby A Man Or Men Take Advantage Of A Woman'S Momentary Or Permanent Vulnerability. Beyond Describing The Scope And Variety Of Harassing Behaviors, The Book Investigates The Different Ways Women And Men Respond To And Interpret Them.Gardner Concludes, Provocatively, That Genderbased Public Harassment Exerts A Powerful Control Over Women'S Feelings Of Comfort In The Towns And Communities Where They Live And Work.
