Shortly before her untimely death, Andrea Adams, the author of the book Bullying at Work: How to Confront and Overcome It , attended the Conference on Bullying in Adult Life which was held in Birmingham on 10 October 1995. Despite her evident ill‐health, she gave an immensely courageous and inspiring address. In response to a request for a written record, she sent two of her most recent articles ‘which may be helpful for plagiarising reproduction’. The authors have written the paper which follows as a posthumous, and perhaps rather inadequate, tribute to a fine human being. It is based on her speech in October, her two articles and her book. In addition, we are most grateful to the Manufacturing, Science and Finance Union for letting us use a transcript of a Keynote Speech which was delivered by Andrea Adams at their Annual Conference in 1995. We have used Andrea Adams's own words. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
