Interesting book recommendations, thank you. I'm doing a bit of witch research myself for my WIP. I have experienced bullying in the workplace. When I discovered I was pregnant with twins, I made the mistake of confiding in a member of staff who told the boss. After a week off with cystitis and fear of losing the pregnancy, I was made redundant when I walked back in to the office. Marched off the premises like a criminal. I know it was because I was pregnant. A female member of staff told me as I gathered my things from my desk, 'It's women like you who give us a bad name.'

Argh Lucy how do you know exactly how to express what's in my head?! I also put up a fight in a shitty work situation. I lost. But if one person learned one thing then it was worth it. But only just 🫠 I would strongly recommend Lean Out by Dawn Foster if you've not read it. And Letters To My Weird Sisters by Joanne Limburg.
