Bio
Lin Farley is a wordsmith and a longtime member of the working press. After a journalism scholarship to USC she worked as a reporter and feature writer with the Associated Press in New York City, her longtime home. In 1980 she published her first book, Sexual Shakedown: the Sexual Harasment of Women on the Job which introduced the phrase sexual harassment into widespread usage and she has lectured extensively on the subject. Sexual Shakedown was many things to many people but when it was hailed as the best piece of investigative reporting in a decade Lin felt someone finally 'got it.' After years as the "Sexual Harrassment Lady" however, Lin needed a break and took a job with The Free China Journal in Taipei. She lived in China for several years which is where she became a much more committed champion of a free press since she worked for a censored and micromanaged pr publication in the guise of an accurate and 'free' paper. Lin holds a Ph.d in Eastern and Western Psychology, is a practicing buddhist and a longtime progressive. She is also the doting companion of a siberian husky named Montana Blue and Tajii, a bad-boy kitty who toils daily to improve the lot of kats forced to obey rules by oppressive and stoopid owners. Lin is at work on a new book based on her doctoral dissertion about how we socialize men about sex. She is also caretaking her 87-year-old Mom who along with her Dad were shop stewards in their respective unions. Lin is a proud member of the working class and, after having walked a long road that began with antipathy, today is an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton.
