Working in a non-Christan environment is often managed by those who 
consider those in their charge to be subjects of their ridicule, 
harassment, and abuse, in particular those who aren't "one of the boys." 
  I've experienced this attitude more than once although never had a 
female boss.

The only thing that you didn't do, that I would have, is to let 
management - above you boss - know exactly why I was leaving. It's 
important that upper management knows that there's someone in middle 
management who has mistreated an employee. Corrections in her behavior 
won't be made if they don't know about what has transpired IN DETAIL.

I can't say that I'd left without another position to go to, but that 
decision has to be one only you can make and I'm sure that you spent a 
lot of time in prayer about it before you made that decision to leave. 
You've now made your decision known to management so have to trust in 
our Lord to provide another position for you or to get you through a 
period of time with no income. Trust in Him and Him alone. I've seen 
miracles in my life, undeserving as I am, and can tell you first hand He 
will see to your needs if you simply trust Him.
