"1960s New York. Bernadette Swift, a young copyeditor at Lenox & Park Publishing is determined to become the first female CEO in the publishing industry.

Thank heavens Bernadette has her dog, Frank -- a sweet and silly Great Dane -- to encourage her and listen to her complaints. Seeking a more human, and female base of support Bernadette joins a feminist women's book club at the New York Public Library. Soon she's inspiring her fellow members to challenge the male gatekeepers and decades of ingrained sexism in their workplaces and pursue their personal and professional dreams.
