Although legal activist Catharine MacKinnon is sometimes credited with creating the laws surrounding sexual harassment in the United States with her 1979 book entitled "Sexual Harassment of Working Women", she did not coin the term. The phrase appeared in print in a 1972 issue of "The Globe and Mail" newspaper published in Toronto. An early use of the term was in a 1973 report about discrimination called ""Saturn's Rings"" by Mary Rowe, Ph.D. At the time, Rowe was the Chancellor for Women and Work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Due to her efforts at MIT, the university was one of the first large organizations in the U.S. to develop specific policies and procedures aimed at stopping sexual harassment.
