Anita Hill went to Oklahoma State University to get her undergraduate degree. Then she went to Yale Law school where she got her Juris Doctor degree. In 1981, she served as counsel to the assistant secretary of the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.

Anita became an attorney-adviser to Clarence Thomas at the U.S. department of Education. After some time of working for him, she alleged that Clarence made sexually inappropriate remarks towards her. In her testimony she recited some of the inappropriate things that Clarence allegedly said:
“He spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes....On several occasions, Thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess....Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office, he got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, "Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?"
Eventually, the senate rejected Hill’s accusations and then everything blew over. Hmm, I’m not quite sure whether he really did it or not. It was mentioned that she was the one to make their work space not appropriate. I wouldn’t put it above it her, I’ve noticed that there have been many women who did horrible things and got away with it. Women are good at being the victim.
