Skyscraper (Femmes Fatales: Women Write Pulp)by Faith Baldwin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lynn is an ambitious young woman who loves her job in the gleaming new Manhattan skyscraper. Soon, Lynn also loves Tom, the young clerk down the hall. They are so in love that if they don't get married, something improper is bound to happen. But her company has a strict new policy: Any woman who marries will be immediately fired. First published in 1931-the same year the Empire State Building opened its doors-Skyscrapermarks the advent of a new kind of romance plot, and Lynn a new kind of heroine. Lynn is facing choices that will determine the course of the rest of her life, but rather than just choose between suitors, Lynn and other working girls like her must decide whether to abandon their careers-or abandon their men. They can't have both-or can they?
