Abstract
The purpose of this chapter was to explore the lived experiences of a middle-aged Caucasian production supervisor who worked in the manufacturing industry within the United States. The chapter emphasized the stress and trauma she endured, which primarily stemmed from repetitive, prolonged, and cumulative sexual harassment. It offered the salient themes that emerged as the participant discussed traumatic institutional betrayal as well as the stress that resulted from working in a culture that condoned sexual harassment and ignored pay disparities. Strategies to overcome stress and marginalization were discussed.
