'''Anita Hill''' (b. July 30, 1956) is a law professor at Brandeis University. She is best known for her testimony during confirmation hearings for [[Clarence Thomas]], whose [[US Supreme Court]] appointment was confirmed by a 52-48 Senate vote in 1991. Hill's testimony focused on Thomas' actions ten years earlier, when he was her supervisor at the [[U.S. Department of Education]], and later at the [[U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission]]. Hill's testimony described sexual harassment. Hill stood by her testimony in her 1998 autobigraphy ''Speaking Truth to Power''. Hill was the subject of a 1993 book by [[David Brock]], ''The Real Anita Hill''. Brock later apologized to Hill and recanted much of ''The Real Anita Hill''.
