You can’t say Rhoda without Mary.
WHILE THEIR FRIENDSHIP had a slightly rocky beginning with a misunderstanding over a third-floor studio apartment at 119 North Weatherly in Minneapolis, these two became unlikely heroes for single working women everywhere. Mary, the naïve, stammering Midwestern news producer at WJM-TV. Rhoda, a streetwise, fast-talking Bronx-transplant window dresser at Hempel’s department store. Over the course of seven years, they put power fashion, headscarves, and hat-tossing on the map.
