Any books similar to Stephen King's "Carrie" from the 20th century involving female rage and mental/moral degradation?

In Stephen King's seminal novel Carrie, as many people know, the title character eventually "breaks" a uses her telekinetic powers to get revenge on the people that bullied and victimised her. The movie by Brian de Palma helped make this story extremely well-known.

What I wish to know is if there are any other books (or films, TV shows) from the 20th century (or earlier) that feature similar storylines. Where a female character experiences a similar mental breakdown, causing chaos to ensue.

If said character has telekinetic powers, or just some sort of powers, even better.

Best scholarly edition on the Book of Enoch?

I was wondering, out of the multiple editions that exist on the Book of Enoch, which one would y'all consider among the best?

Ideally, I want an academic edition that includes notes and whatnot; perhaps even some comments at the start by the editor.

If a an academic book that also includes 2 and 3 Enoch, that would be even better, though a book on just 1 Enoch will suffice.
