A tell-all account of a real-life Peggy Olsen. Jane Maas was a successful copywriter for a New York ad agency in the 60s and 70s, and her tales are wickedly funny and revealing.
Synopsis
Did people really have sex in the office? Did they actually drink martinis at 11am? And what was it really like for women working on Madison Avenue in the 1960s? This title provides answers to all these questions. It deals with the tougher issues of the era, such as equal pay, jaw-dropping sexism, and more.
