Mad Women
This sharp, witty memoir from Maas reveals the experiences of women in a male-dominated world of mid-century advertising. It’s an interesting snapshot of what it meant to be a woman in corporate America when sexism was not only normalized but institutionalized. As a firsthand account of breaking barriers in a hostile professional culture, the book remains valuable and interesting (though it is lacking without a wide range of voices). It’s a stark reminder that the struggle for equity in workplaces has made progress but isn’t close to over.
