1972: The Price of Ambition: Inside Vogue, Power, and Reinvention with Caroline Palmer
In this episode of So Money, former Vogue editor and author Caroline Palmer discusses her novel *Workhorse*, a fiction rooted in her experiences at Vogue during the early‑2000s. She contrasts the glossy portrayals of fashion publishing in movies like *The Devil Wears Prada* with the more complex, often darker realities of ambition, identity, and the hidden trade‑offs women face. Palmer explains why she created an unapologetically flawed female protagonist, exploring the "price of ambition" and the distinction between "workhorses" (the relentless doers) and "show horses" (the celebrated faces). She also shares her personal pivot during the pandemic, her negotiation that dramatically raised her salary, and her view on the evolving power dynamics at Vogue today.
