"My name is Alice Graham. You may have heard on the news of late that the women of the RCMP are suing for sexual harassment. I was a member of the RCMP and was the first woman in Canada to sue for sexual harassment. In 1994 I won my suit. By doing this, I made a new law so the women of today are able to sue for sexual harassment."
And so begins this incredible story of Alice Clark's trials and tribulations of her time in the RCMP, and her successfully suing them for sexual harassment. By telling her story, the ex-Mountie hopes to help others who may face harassment, bullying or intimidation in the workplace or other situations.
Clark is the former Red Deer City detachment officer who successfully sued the RCMP after suffering five years of sexual harassment and discrimination at the hands of her superiors and peers. The two examples merely scratch the surface of dozens of incidents outlined in her lawsuit. A federal court awarded her $93,000 in 1994 for lost wages and compensation for pain and suffering. In Blush of the Scarlet, Clark shares her experiences at the Red Deer detachment during the mid-1980s.
