I agree with you that entertainment media often doesn't provide an honest representation of what they portray.<br /><br />However, in this case, it's close. I attended a luncheon that featured an author who started as a copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather, one of the top ad agencies in New York. She said the amount of sex that went on in the offices was amazing and that in this regard, the show Mad Men got it right. <br /><br />The book is Mad Women: The Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue in the 60's and Beyond, by Jane Maas. A very interesting book if you're into ad agencies. :-)Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504165449607702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-67208023126223002702012-05-10T01:18:19.971-04:002012-05-10T01:18:19.971-04:00"After watching a few episodes of Mad Men, it..."After watching a few episodes of Mad Men, it was evident that women had to fight off their own co-workers to be able to get work done."<br /><br />Are the entertainment media a trustworthy source of that kind of historical information? I'm not saying that I assume sexual harassment wasn't a problem, or even that it wasn't exactly as the television show depicts. But I shouldn't assume it was just because a TV show says so, should I?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
