A History of Women in Advertising

The Ogilvy Podcast

In this special edition of the Ogilvy Podcast, we replay a conversation with writer Lynn Biederstadt who retired this month after a decades-long career in the advertising industry.

From pill box hats to working on “women’s brands” to seeing a new generation of leaders emerge, we discuss what has—and hasn’t—changed since the glory days of Madison Avenue.
