Fiction. Lynn is an ambitious young woman who loves her job in the gleaming new Manhattan skyscrpaer. Soon, Lynn also loves Tom, the young clerk down the hall. They are so in love that if they don't get married soon, something improper is going to happen. But her company has a strict new policy: any woman who marries will immediately be fired. First published in 1931 -- the same year the Empire State Building opened its doors -- SKYSCRAPER marks the advent of a new kind of romance plot, and Lynn a new kind of heroine.
