When I was going to college in New York City, I had a part-time job on Fifth Avenue near Central Park. It was such a great area for working. When Women Ran Fifth Avenue takes place mostly in this area, and it was fun to remember being there. Julie Satow relays the rise of women in administrative positions at Henri Bendel, Bonwit Teller, and Lord and Taylor. The story begins in the 1930s and continues through decades of economic change as well as attitudinal changes regarding women in the workplace--though that doesn't change as much as it should, in my opinion. This was a fun read looking behind the scenes at some of the glamour of Fifth Avenue highlighting the roles of the women who influenced it.
