Carmel Snow (1887 - 1961), the notorious publishing rival of Vogue editor Edna Woolman Chase, left Vogue in 1934 to become fashion editor, then chief editor of Harper's Bazaar. This vibrant memoir recalls her passionate career. Determined and opinionated, Snow had a brilliant eye for new talent: she hired Diana Vreeland and Richard Avedon, commissioned editorial from Truman Capote, and applauded Balenciaga's first collection in a silent 'hate filled room'. A woman of boundless energy, she kept sleeping and eating to a minimum, but seldom missed a three-martini lunch
