Description
When Valerie, now in her sixties, learns that her Gen Z co-worker, Anna, has effectively been fired for rejecting the boss’s advances, Valerie becomes her champion, and so ensures that justice will prevail. But it brings back traumatic memories of when Valerie herself was the victim of sexual assault when working as an aspiring TV reporter in 1970s London.
Exposing the unfair consequences of saying ‘no’ in the workplace, the book vividly and with warm humour illustrates the power of standing up for another woman’s rights, and your own.
Be a Good Girl, Valerie is a poignant reminder of the resilience required to fight against injustice, blending past and present struggles in a narrative that is both thought-provoking and empowering.

About the Author
Born in Canada, Marcia van Zeller completed a BA at the University of Toronto before landing a job in television production. Not being one for snow-skiing, she left Canada in search of more moderate climes. She arrived in Perth, Western Australia in the 1980s to embark on a long career in journalism and professional writing. After many years spent composing words to the specifications of others, Marcia decided she had a story or two of her own to tell. She completed her first novel as part of her PhD thesis through Curtin University’s School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry. Marcia continues to work as a freelance editor and is a professional member of the Institute of Professional Editors WA.
