Synopsis

When Valerie, now in her sixties, learns that her Gen Z co-worker, Anna, has effectively been fired for rejecting the boss’s advances, Valerie becomes her champion, and so ensures that justice will prevail. But it brings back traumatic memories of when Valerie herself was the victim of sexual assault when working as an aspiring TV reporter in 1970s London. Exposing the unfair consequences of saying ‘no’ in the workplace, the book vividly and with warm humour illustrates the power of standing up for another woman’s rights, and your own.
