Emma McChesney, a stylish and intelligent divorced mother, is a rising star in the world of advertising. Her success is built on her ability to connect with people and understand their desires, a skill she uses to craft compelling ad campaigns. 'Personality Plus' follows Emma's journey as she tackles new challenges, including a demanding new boss, a budding romance, and the constant pressure to balance her professional aspirations with her role as a single mother. The story unfolds against the backdrop of early 20th century America, where women are still striving for greater independence and recognition in the workplace. Emma's determination to succeed in a male-dominated field, while also navigating the social complexities of being a single mother, provides a compelling and insightful glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of women in the early 1900s.Book Details
