In When Women Ran Fifth Avenue, journalist Julie Satow explores the golden age of American department stores, focusing on three visionary women who led them. Hortense Odlum, Dorothy Shaver, and Geraldine Stutz were all visionaries who took risks and forged new paths for women who followed in their footsteps. Odlum, who started her own department store in the 1930s, became the first businesswoman to earn a $1 million salary, while Shaver championed American designers during World War II. The account captures the glitz, decadence, and fun of the department store world.
