A Special Place in Hell:
Intra-Gender Bullying in the Workplace
“There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women", former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was famously quoted as saying.
In this study of female workplace bullying in Australia, Myfan Jordan explores negative work relations and the impacts upon targets, bystanders, and even perpetrators.
​
Based on fifty interviews with women, the author platforms the lived experiences of victim-survivors of workplace bullying.
​
Framed within bullying scholarship, Australian employment policy, feminist theory and cross-cultural comparisons, this is the definitive book exploring why women target other women at work and suggesting pathways out of ‘the toxic workplace’.
