Join us for an empowering discussion of Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas' "Climbing in Heels," a bold, witty debut novel set in the heart of 1980s Hollywood. Following three ambitious women navigating a male-dominated industry, the story offers sharp insights into ambition, authenticity, and the challenges of “climbing” while staying true to yourself. This conversation will spark reflection on the parallels women face in law and leadership today – and hopefully inspire strategies for supporting one another along the way.

About the Book
Climbing in Heels
"Climbing in Heels," Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas's debut novel, is a fictional tale of the rise of three secretaries at the hottest agency in 1980's Hollywood, giving you a glimpse into the boys-will-be-boys club and the women who wanted a seat at a table where they were expected to serve.
It's the story of friendship, betrayal, survival, standing up when they pass you by, and saying I won't go when they want you gone. And it's also a story about how some of those women became very much like the monsters who trained them.
