In "When Women Ran Fifth Avenue", award-winning journalist and author of "The Plaza" Julie Satow chronicles the rise of the department store through dazzling portraits of three visionary women who took great risks, forging new paths for the women who followed in their footsteps. This stylish account, rich with personal drama and trade secrets, captures the department store in all its glitz, decadence, and fun, and showcases the women who made that beautifully curated world go round.
This history of American fashion and the department store is inextricable from Jewish history, from the Jewish immigrants who worked in New York’s Garment District to influential designers and creators like Hattie Carnegie and Lena Himmelstein. These stories are interwoven throughout Satow’s
glittering account of a bygone era of innovation and glamour.
