The Angel in the Marketplace: Adwoman Jean Wade Rindlaub and the Selling of America

by Ellen Wayland-Smith

Book Overview

The popular image of a midcentury adwoman is of a feisty girl beating men at their own game, a female Horatio Alger protagonist battling her way through the sexist workplace. But before the fictional rise of Peggy Olson or the real-life stories of Patricia Tierney and Jane Maas came Jean Wade Rindlaub: a female power broker who used her considerable success in the workplace to encourage other women--to stick to their kitchens.
