White Collar Girl
White Collar Girl: A Novel | Renée Rosen
11 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
The latest novel from the bestselling author of Dollface and What the Lady Wants takes us deep into the tumultuous world of 1950s Chicago where a female journalist struggles with the heavy price of ambition... Every second of every day, something is happening. There’s a story out there buried in the muck, and Jordan Walsh, coming from a family of esteemed reporters, wants to be the one to dig it up. But it’s 1955, and the men who dominate the city room of the Chicago Tribune have no interest in making room for a female cub reporter. Instead Jordan is relegated to society news, reporting on Marilyn Monroe sightings at the Pump Room and interviewing secretaries for the White Collar Girl column. Even with her journalistic legacy and connections to luminaries like Mike Royko, Nelson Algren, and Ernest Hemingway, Jordan struggles to be taken seriously. Of course, that all changes the moment she establishes a secret source inside Mayor Daley’s office and gets her hands on some confidential information. Now careers and lives are hanging on Jordan’s every word. But if she succeeds in landing her stories on the front page, there’s no guarantee she’ll remain above the fold.…From the Trade Paperback edition.

I loved this book set in Chicago in the 1950s. The story follows Jordan as she struggles to achieve her dream of becoming a journalist. Renee Rosen is becoming one of my favorite authors.

It has been so fun reading all the Chicago area locales. The mention of Kiddieland hit me with a huge wave of nostalgia. I may have been born 30 years after the novel takes place but so many of the places mentioned are still around. Well Kiddieland isn't 😞it sadly closed about 8 or 9 years ago. #chicago

A little by of mystery, a little bit romance, and a kick ass female reporter trying to make it in a male dominated office.

I would definitely suggest this story about a young woman trying to break in at a 1950's newspaper. It's got a good main character, clear story lines and a little mystery and romance tooðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ¤“

A great historical fiction novel about journalism and the inequality of being a woman in the 50's.
