Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to review sexual harassment research as it pertains to Women of Color in the United States. We first review the legal, behavioral, and psychological definitions of sexual harassment and then examine the research on racial/ethnic differences in the frequency, perceptions, psychological consequences, and coping strategies related to sexual harassment among African American, Latina, and Asian American women. Finally, we conclude with suggestions for future research.
