The Miss Subways, were part of an actual MTA advertising campaign. The Subway Girls by Susie Orman Schnall builds a novel around this history. The story features two women, two times, and intersecting stories. Charlotte and Olivia's story are separated by time and change. In many ways, though, the choices that face them and the challenges placed in their way reflect the same reality that the gender gap has evolved but not gone away. It is the strength of these characters and the extrapolated vision of the women who became the Miss Subways that give this book its impact.
