Seduction in the City: The Birth of Shopping tells the story of the department store – how it became the greatest innovation to emerge from the industrial revolution. This program reveals the foresight of internationally renowned store entrepreneurs who invented revolutionary concepts that now form the basis of everyday shopping conveniences like easy credit, returns policies, window displays and changing rooms. The foresight of these men and the department stores they created offered women the first chance to have a career outside of the home, changing the face of consumerism and the lives of women and modern society forever.
