Alara, here is a site (there are many, although most deal with kids and schools) that you might find to be a good source of info/ideas of how to handle this.

You're right about how complex it can be in thinking of how to handle it. Is she someone who will own up to her behavior and change it if you talk to her? If not, there might be a better way to handle it than direct confrontation.
I have had to "harden" myself and not react with so much hurt to certain things from certain co-workers. It is hard to do. And I had to learn the hard way, by going back for more and more until I realized the person won't change, I just have to get more savvy. Very hard to do, but necessary sometimes.
So sorry you are experiencing this.
