    These two lines stuck out to me:

    “I think as a woman, as women always do, I took the bulk of the abuse. People would say things like I was a ‘gold-digger’ or I ‘slept my way to the top’, which just couldn’t be further from reality,” she said.

    …and…

    “Women were the cruellest critics, she told the New York Times, with all of the in-person bullying, plus most of the phone calls and messages coming from women.”

    I take these two statements to mean that she’s saying women were the source of most of the abuse she’s receiving. Am I reading that right or is there an assumption of a larger, unmentioned, method of abuse besides phone calls and she’s receiving?

      She is saying a few things.

      The first statement is saying that she believes she received the majority of the abuse aimed at the two of them (her and her boss). She is saying that she believes this to be because she’s a woman, and that women generally are criticised more than men for this kind of thing.

      The second statement is that, of the abuse she received, most of it came from other women.
