Swing Away

Twentiesh gal living and working in the lovely Charleston, South Carolina with a new husband and an imaginary dog. By day: marketing+social media geek. Otherwise, I'm sous vide cooking, history loving, museum trekking, margarita making gal, with a side obsession of counting down the days to the Hobbit films.

My name is Claire. Taking a swing here at all things thrown my way.

“Newsweek Reviving Its 1960s Design for ‘Mad Men’ Issue, Down to the Ads”

The magazine experienced its own upheavals in those years as cultural norms shifted. “In that period women were not even allowed to write for the magazine,” Ms. Brown said. “There was a whole ‘Mad Men’ culture at Newsweek. Women had to be the researchers and the copy backup to the sort of swaggering male writers. In the ‘70’s, the women of Newsweek launched a class-action lawsuit to write and have bylines.”

So excited for this Newsweek issue. The articles, ads and images are going to just be fantastic.
