A Girl Named Carrie (signed)
A Girl Named Carrie
The Visionary Who Created Neiman Marcus and Set the Standard for Fashion
by Jerrie Marcus Smith
Along with her brother, Herbert Marcus Sr., and her husband A.L. Neiman, Carrie Marcus Neiman co-founded in 1907 the famed Neiman Marcus department store in Dallas, Texas. She played an integral role in the store’s success, despite having three strikes against her: she was a woman, she was Jewish, and she was divorced. Yet with impeccable taste and exemplary manners, she traveled as a buyer to New York in the 1920’s (without a man!) and, as author Jerrie Marcus Smith says, “was nobody’s pushover.” This beautiful full-color book tells the story of this remarkable woman who was under-recognized and ahead of her time.
