Hm, that's a hard one. What do you think she would say if you said 'look, I've done 2/3 of the work and formatted your (bloody) chapters', I think I should be first author."
How much do you need to work with her in future?

Ask her ITG. Surely if she’s been first author before it’s your turn?

ITG - in my field two authors were always regarded as equally weighted so it was generally sorted by putting them alphabetically.

ITG - I would, over coffee if possible, ask her to reconsider author order. Author position is a big deal in my field. I've ended up resenting where I've gone on the list because of 'politics' and wished I'd been stronger voicing my thoughts. At least if you ask, and she refuses, you've had the discussion.
Another wee bimble with the mini this afternoon. Ticking off those C25K runs 😁

Softly does it ITG. Remember the pub sign about not asking for credit as a refusal often offends? Ask but try not to mind. And next time get in first with the idea

Doesn’t sound like you ever want to work with her again anyway ITG, be brave and tell her you deserve it!

She has now retired (that is how long it took her to write the bits she did write!) but we still have to get it from submission to print. It makes no difference formally if my name is first; I just think it would be right though.

I’m not an expert ITG but I think if the original proposition was approved in her name then it is her name that goes first unless she has done something diabolical (rather than just being lazy and taking the credit) and it is a small world even when people retire. I wouldn’t let it happen twice though and it might be worth a go
