The truth about female allyship and why the way we show up for each other matters more than ever.”

Every woman has a story. A moment where another woman opened a door, offered a hand, or made the path ahead smoother. And for many of us, there are also moments when that didn’t happen, when support was absent, or worse, when we were quietly held back.

Friend or Foe is Alison’s candid exploration of these dynamics; the women who lift us up, and the women who, consciously or not, hold us back. It’s a subject we rarely talk about openly, but one that powerfully shapes our experience of work, leadership, and belonging.

WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS

This book looks beyond the statistics and systemic barriers we already know exist with a candid look back and a curious look forward, Alison examines how childhood experiences, societal conditioning, and entrenched power structures shape how women relate to one another at work.

This is not about blame. It’s about understanding. It’s about choice. And it’s about refusing to step quietly backwards.

In a world where political ideologies are shifting and hard-won rights are under threat, allyship is not a soft skill, it’s a force for change. When women stand together, we don’t just protect what we’ve built we create something better for those who follow.
