Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This memoir of a woman in an ad man's world provides a glimpse of the social realities that fuelled the plotlines of Mad Men.
Maas began as a copywriter in New York in 1964, writing ads for soaps (she rose to creative director and led the "I love New York" campaign). She captures a world in which women were only beginning to dream of wanting it all.
Every iota of the sex and glamour she recalls is matched by sexism. Maas reveals a gift for the witty one-liner that doubtless helped her get ahead in advertising.
