  • holding that specifics in the EEOC charge form are sufficient to state a claim despite of the lack of a check in the EEOC form box
  • finding that plaintiff administratively exhausted sex discrimination claim despite not checking the appropriate box because plaintiff alleged that her superior accused her of \being a leader of the girls on the floor\
  • even though charging party only checked box marked “race,” factual allegations in charge also fairly raised questions of sex discrimination
  • plaintiffs failure to check box for \sex\ in EEOC charge not fatal because the particulars of her charge could be fairly read to allege sex discrimination
  • charge specifying racial discrimination and asserting that plaintiff was fired because of her Afro hairstyle, but which also referred to her role as leader of women employees, interpreted as also encompassing claims of sex discrimination
  • the details in an EEOC charge must adequately support a claim of sex discrimination
