<p>Lois Jenson’s courage and tenacity have made her a historic figure in the battle against sexual harassment.</p><p>She was the lead plaintiff in the first class-action sexual harassment lawsuit -- a case that inspired the 2005 movie <em>North Country.</em></p><p>I spoke with her in 2018, at the height of the #MeToo movement, for an in-depth <em>Wavemaker Conversation</em>. I’ve decided to repost the conversation now, for historical context, in light of the release of <em>She Said</em>, the new movie about Harvey Weinstein.</p><p>Jenson was one of the first four women miners in the Eveleth Taconite Mine in northern Minnesota. In our <em>Wavemaker Conversation</em>, Jenson shares with me the details of what a judge on the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals called the “record of human indecency [that] sought to destroy the human psyche as well as the human spirit" of Jenson and the other female miners.</p><p>Among other things, Jenson recalls the good guys at the mine who, she says, far outnumbered the bad guys — including some who urged her to keep up her fight.</p><p>Getting to know Lois Jenson during this <em>Wavemaker Conversation</em> has been a source of inspiration for me. I hope it will be for you too.</p>
