Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk(86)

All of the poems and advertisements that appear in the book attributed to Lillian Boxfish—as well as the letter here—were written by Margaret Fishback and appear here with the permission of her estate. Many thanks to Fishback’s son, Anthony Antolini, for granting this permission.

Additionally, the “Women in Cosmetic Advertising” quiz is drawn from Advertising Careers for Women, edited by Dorothy Dignam and Blanche Clair and published in 1939; Fishback’s copy of this book was a part of her archive.
