Marilyn: A Woman In Charge shows how Marilyn Laurie, a self-described "little Jewish girl from the Bronx" rose from helping launch Earth Day to become the first female policy-making officer of a Fortune 10 company.

Marilyn Laurie—“a little Jewish girl from the Bronx”—rose from volunteer environmental organizer to become AT&T’s first female Chief Communications Officer and the first woman to sit on the executive committee of a Fortune10 company. After organizing New York’s first Earth Day in 1970 and producing a New York Times supplement for its second anniversary, she was hired by AT&T in 1971 to spark employee recycling—initially in HR but soon moved into PR based on her initiative.
