When Women Ran Fifth Avenue: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion

I made it through this book but was a bit disappointed in it. As others have shared, it was heavier on personal biography and there was not as much of a fashion history element as I’d hoped. Covering three women’s lives in one book was quite an ambitious undertaking, so it felt a bit choppy and I found myself feeling far less interested in their biographies than I was in the fashion merchandising innovations to which they each contributed at times. These parts of the book were interesting, but unfortunately felt like mere accessories, or endcaps, if you will.
