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.
Ahhh yes good old NDAs, the golden shield that’s protected misogynistic dickheads since the dawn of time. The fabulous Joeli Brearley of “Pregnant Then Screwed” does a wonderful exposé in her book about NDAs and the companies who still brandish them about!
