A Special Place In Hell:
Intra-Gender Bullying in the Workplace
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 50 interviews with women, A Special Place In Hell outlines 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’.
