The show may be called Mad Men, but the most compelling characters on this show are the Mad Women. As men like Don Draper continue to fall behind and find themselves increasingly out of touch with the modern day, it’s the working girls and society ladies who are on the rise, taking charge of their domains (be it in their careers, their families, and/or their relationships) and ultimately, of their lives as women of the 1960s.
To Peggy, Joan, Megan, Betty, Sally, Trudy, and Dawn – I raise a sparkling glass to you!
