Where do females fit in Civil Lawsuits?

That depends on the type of harassment you are enduring.  If it is sexual in nature, and pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment, you can bring a complaint to the EEOC provided you also first follow the procedures set forth in your agency's sexual harassment policy.  To start, if I were in your shoes, I would contact a lawyer who does sexual harassment/civil rights cases in missouri.  Stephen Ryals in St. Louis is the premier civil rights lawyer in your area.  Not sure if he would do a sexual harassment suit, but that may be a good place for you to start to seek counsel, as his office may be able to refer you to someone.    Hope this helps.  Bob Keach
