Marcia van Zeller
Some truths refuse to stay buried. When Valerie, now in her 60s, discovers that her Gen Z colleague, Anna, was effectively fired for rejecting their boss’s advances, she steps up to fight for justice. But the battle stirs painful memories of Valerie’s own experience with sexual assault as a young TV reporter in 1970s London. With warmth and wit, van Zeller shines a light on the harsh consequences of saying no in the workplace—and the enduring strength it takes to stand up, not just for yourself, but for the women who come after you.
