The Writing on the Wall E-BOOK

After breaking through a glass ceiling of seventy men at a New York City advertising agency as the first woman art director and then traveling for a year, 60s style, the author founds an innovative startup company in Manhattan. Creative Freelancers Inc. is the first agency to connect business with freelance artists and writers. The idea thrives for over twenty-five years, despite some sizable legal battles.
Single life in the city has weekends at fun group houses in the Hamptons, Fire Island and Vermont. Business is learned with a two-week MBA summary course, surprises and fortitude. In her early thirties she marries an older, extroverted man with three teenage daughters and then has two children of her own. The author had it all, but found that can mean sacrifice for women. Time was precious. Family life with five children and a business vividly captures the complexity of women during the growth of the woman's movement and today.

In1983, ADWEEK Magazine of New York profiled Marilyn Howard in a feature called "The Dynamic Dozen." She placed first on their list of the top twelve women in advertising under age forty most likely to succeed, and was the only one with children. In 1997, the company becomes the first agency on the Internet at freelancers.com.

It's an engaging account of an eventful life, and a page-turner infused with noteworthy perspectives. This epic tale is about life, love and business women, from family flapper stories in the 1920s until today's 21st century environment.
