A Career Romance For Young Moderns: Peggy Parker, Girl Inventor
I was so excited when I found Peggy Parker: Girl Inventor at a rummage sale, but when I started reading, my happiness turned to ash. Despite taking a progressive view towards female inventors, the book is incredibly, how do I put this, racist. So, this time it's not a recommendation.

A Career Romance For Young Moderns: Dreams To Shatter
"Polly thought her dream of creating beautiful, original pottery was over — broken like some fragile vase — but it was to come true in a totally unexpected way."

So: Potter's wheels, shattered dreams and, of course, romance — after the jump.

A Career Romance For Young Moderns: Designed By Stacey
If you want to know what got me into these books in the first place, why, it's Marcia Miller's 1967 masterpiece Designed by Stacey, which, for what it lacks in accurate depiction of the fashion industry, more than makes up for with wild plot twists, vague anti-Semitism, and amazing 60's clothes. I would call DBS the gateway drug of career romances: lite on career, heavy on bizarre, and one hell of a subway page-turner. Lies, deceit, slim satin suits and matching pumps — after the jump!
