Originally published in 1974, this landmark novel is available in ebook format for the first time.

Shirley Hartman, at twenty-eight, was the star of Madison Avenue, a woman who'd made it to the top in the male-dominated advertising game. Beauty, brains, fame, love... yet there she was, standing on a lonely rooftop, contemplating suicide. Had Shirley pushed too hard and reached too far - or can this extraordinary woman break out to some living room beyond career success and the usual arrangements with a man?

"Shirley Hartman is as much a feminist as Portia, Becky Sharp or Scarlett O'Hara. In her, Stein has created a heroine yearning for that living space that men and women need after social and financial triumph. The kind of novel one keeps on ready."
- New Republic

"A roller coaster reader ride. Shirley Hartman is a ball of fire you are not likely to forget."
- John Barkham Reviews
