Mad Women: The Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue in the '60s and Beyond | 
so-soHaving watched Mad Men and been in advertising, I was expecting more. A LOT more. "Funny" anecdotes, slight dips into inequality and racism, but mostly "the show got it wrong, because we were happier and it was nicer." All I have to say to that is: Nostalgia wears rose colored glasses.
candyflossramparts Wow. That's disappointing. Being in the industry, and a fan of Mad Men, I'll definitely avoid this one. 8y
Brenley @candyflossramparts I think I was longer winded and more scathing in my Goodreads review. I also listened to it on audio and the narrator pissed me off! Too bad because I was really looking forward to a deep dive into the 60s era advertising! 8y
candyflossramparts One of my early agency mentors was a guy who started in advertising in the Mad Men era. He told some wild stories, so I know the ladies had more to say than, "it wasn't so bad." ? 8y
