...much softness in Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want (Bantam) by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever. "We know that this is true--that women don't ask for what they want and need, and suffer severe consequences as a result." They are particularly tenacious about curing the common female failure to negotiate salaries, which they warn is "outrageously expensive for women."

One area where fantasy is pivotal is in the retail world, specifically in window display. Nobody designs more magical windows, in my opinion, than New York City's Bergdorf Goodman, where creative director Linda Fargo and her team of visual experts draw on such disparate sources of inspiration as the ho-hum Post-it note and the over-the-top interiors of Tony Duquette. In this special supplement to Time, we identify what we call the Design 100, the people and ideas behind today...
