It has never been customary in our business to have women managers. Let alone one who drives a red LaSalle. - Herman Rifkin in NOBODYS GIRL by Harley Erdman On December 17, 1940, the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Music, on the recommendation of its manager, M. Frank Shaughnessy, appointed longtime cashier Mildred Walker as interim manager while Shaughnessy was away on military service. Thus began a fight between the Academy and the theaters primary lessee, Herman Rifkin Theatres, which grew into a headline-grabbing court case. The themes of Mildreds story arent lost to time; they still resonate in todays work culture, as women remain underrepresented in leadership positions.
