"This is a fascinating book ... All the elements are there - the drinking, the sex, the witty one-liners - but there is a serious side to it too, one that paints a detailed, nuanced portrait of a social and cultural landscape undergoing seismic change. Maas has a gimlet eye for detail - and she's funny, in a very dry martini sort of way." -- Sarah Vine The Times "Funny and informative, with the kick of a dry martini" Observer "You don't have to identify with Peggy Olson on Mad Men - or even know who she is - to appreciate Jane Maas's Mad Women... [a] breezy and salty memoir" The New York Times "Hilarious! Honest, intimate, this book tells it as it was" -- Mary Wells Lawrence, author of A Big Life (In Advertising) and founding president of Wells Rich Greene "I think of Jane Maas as a real-life Peggy Olson. When I started at Ogilvy & Mather in 1971, a lowly Account Executuve, she was already a creative director. She took me under her wing and taught me a lot about creative work that sells" -- Shelly Lazarus, Chairman, Ogilvy & Mather
