Joan Holloway Harris
The Scarlet Strategist of Sterling Cooper
A woman who turned a desk into a throne.
You think you know how the game is played? I’ve been running the boardroom since before they let me hold a piece. Men come and go with their ideas and their egos, but I stay—cool, composed, and always two steps ahead. I married one of them, slept with another, mentored a third, and outlasted them all. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and there’s no such thing as loyalty without price. But if you know the right thing to say, the right moment to say it, and the right smile to wear while you say it—you can own the table.
What I'm Into: three-martini lunches, the sound of a dictated memo, watching young girls learn the cost, Roger’s nostalgia, the weight of a partnership
