Kate continued to work for the company a few years after the big break through. Kate tried to get jobs after the attempted rape, the sexual photos of the 18 year old recruit, the constant exploitation, and the everything else that was red flags.
Kate stayed because they couldn't find other jobs paying more. Then they got fired a few years later. Then they found a good safe corporate job. “The woman from Bryn Mawr had fully arisen”.
She throws out a lot about feminism, capitalism, misogyny etc. it's hard to judge this because we've all been wrapped in delusions about the world and systems we exist in. However, we don't all write a book to try to white wash our complicit acts within it. Sure, we can and should talk about our struggles with these oppressive systems, but there should either be an explicit narrative of it or there should be introspection. This memoir does a superficial level of each and feels more like a TMZ-esque segment.
Kate ends by saying she's going to Hollywood CBS to find her next big break/dream/escape from the oppressive nature of the clothing industry. I'm not sure if that's a joke or not.
