Synopsis
The impetuous Leda Sanford abandoned secure suburbia in the 1960s in exchange for a life on the edge as a top magazine editor and publisher in the competitive and male-dominated Manhattan publishing world. Unorthodox entrepreneurs hired Leda at a time when women rarely occupied corner offices. Leda's memoir, "Pure Moxie, " recreates a world of jet-setting opulence-private planes, five-star hotels, and a state dinner at the White House-plus a headline-making affair. Leda became the first female publisher of "American Home, " a major U.S. magazine with a circulation of more than one million. She focused on the emerging liberated woman's demanding lifestyle and challenged the traditional formula of women's magazines. From her "American Home" launch pad, Leda pushed the industry's standards as she directed the creation and reinvention of magazines that included "Chief Executive, Attenzione, Modern Maturity, " and "Get Up and Go " In the early 1990s, Leda shifted focus to promoting a new attitude toward aging, emphasizing that it's never too late to explore new horizons and enrich one's quality of life. With wit and candor, "Pure Moxie" provides a unique glimpse into Leda's career and offers insight into women's changing roles as key players in the magazine publishing business., The impetuous Leda Sanford abandoned secure suburbia in the 1960s in exchange for a life on the edge as a top magazine editor and publisher in the competitive and male-dominated Manhattan publishing world.

Such a slim volume for someone who's led such a long and interesting life (after all, Miley Cyrus's autobiography is 288 pages) then you realize Pure Moxie is no doubt just like the author: smart, funny, candid, to-the-point and, of course, slender. J.E. Vader , Citizen Moxie, Pacific Sun , January, 2011 Money, power, sex. Pure Moxie tells the tale of one woman's journey from bored housewife to trendsetter in the magazine publishing industry. This is a story few women experience but every woman fantasizes about. Cheryl Russell , Editorial Director of New Strategist Publications , Former Editor-in-Chief of American Demographics Sexy, sassy and sensational, Pure Moxie is a memoir that reads like a best-selling novel. The world of American magazine publishing was a frontier in the 1970's and Leda was one if its leading pioneers. A business success story, an adventure, and a racy read all wrapped in one, Pure Moxie is a page-turner, with an inspiring moral.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
