About the book:
Valerie is very comfortable being an older woman. She can wear Rockport loafers on her feet, trousers with elasticated waists, and keep her hair in an
unassuming mid-length bob. She has long accepted the sheltered age of invisibility. But when she learns that her young Gen Z co-worker, Anna, has effectively been fired for rejecting the older boss’ advances, Valerie boldly becomes her champion and, in doing so, awakens long-suppressed, traumatic memories. With cracking dry humour and a fearless approach to an age-old problem, Marcia van Zeller exposes the unfair consequences of saying ‘no’ in the workplace and vividly shows the power of protecting another woman’s rights and your own.
