Margaret Getchell La Forge was a female business pioneer who took New York by storm. In 1860, the smart and sassy nineteen year old was hired for a low-level position at R.H. Macy’s. Only six years later, she became the first female executive in retail history! In Hidden Gems, Margaret gets the credit she deserves for steering the iconic New York department store to its lasting success.
“Be everywhere. Do everything. And never fail to astonish the customer.”
—Margaret Getchell La Forge
