"Defense! Ha! It won't amount to bug dust. I chose the panel and I shall chair the panel and the panel will vote to terminate her." Henry was becoming very agitated. His pacing was now fast and choppy.

Reading Girl

Det vill säga, jag personligen har aldrig upplevt något liknande — men det tycks som alldeles för många kvinnor råkat ut för det.

Jag hittar Ruth Spragues bok "Wild Justice" hos Gutenberg, vilket var lite oväntat eftersom boken är från 1993. 

Det handlar om hur ledningen (bara män) vid Belmont University manövrerar ut en av de kvinnliga lärarna. Boken är både rolig och upprörande.

Jag önskar att jag visste lite mer om författaren, men jag hittar inga uppgifter om henne.

Here she was—accused of forging seven student feedback forms. The lump in her stomach and the one in her throat were trying to join together and drag the rest of her down into a black, empty tunnel of fear. Resisting the pull, she looked around the hearing room and met the eyes of the stenographer who smiled at her encouragingly.
