A Girl Named Carrie: The Visionary Who Created Neiman Marcus and Set the Standard for Fashion
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[Carrie] became a guiding force as Neiman Marcus expanded into new markets. It would be easy to underestimate her role in Neiman Marcus’s success; in those days women didn’t get a lot of credit for their contributions to retail empires. Her great-niece Jerrie Marcus Smith has spent years collecting stories about Marcus’s many achievements . . . [This is] an intimate biography that chronicles how a driven young person became one of fashion’s most talented pioneers.”–Town and Country Magazine.com
