Skyscraper (Femmes Fatales : Women Write Pulp)
 List Price: Price: $13.31 You Save: $1.64 (11%) DescriptionLynn is an ambitious young woman who loves her job in the gleaming new Manhattan skyscraper. Soon, Lynn also loves Tom, the young clerk down the hall. They are so in love that if they don’t get married, something improper is bound to happen. But her company has a strict new policy: Any woman who marries will be immediately fired. First published in 1931—the same year the Empire State Building opened its doors—Skyscraper marks the advent of a new kind of romance plot, and Lynn a new kind of heroine. Lynn is facing choices that will determine the course of the rest of her life, but rather than just choose between suitors, Lynn and other working girls like her must decide whether to abandon their careers—or abandon their men. They can’t have both—or can they?Customer ReviewsOriginal pulp fictionFaith Baldwin's 1931 classic pulp romance Skyscraper is as pulp as it comes. If you like your prose purple and your entendres doubled, this is the book for you. Plucky young Lynn Harding has come to Manhattan to conquer the world; working as a sales researcher for Seacoast Bank, she catches the eye of up-and-comer Tom Shepherd. Sadly, the young lovers can't be married, or else Lynn will lose the job that she loves so much. While she and Tom wrestle with the question of whether or not they have a future together, dashing older man David Dwight has designs on the lovely Lynn. Will she fall into his louche clutches? Will she and Tom be forced to separate forever? Will Lynn get to keep her job at the bank? While the plot is laughably dated, Baldwin's writing holds up as well as any modern romance--the Feminist Press has chosen well for its Femmes Fatales line.
