Dorothy Carvello (Former Executive at Atlantic Records)

Retaliation with Julie Roginsky

"If you complained, you got fired."
Dorothy Carvello was the first female A&R executive at Atlantic Records. She speaks with Julie Roginsky about the sexism and harassment she endured at the company. The men running Atlantic and other music labels treated women like Dorothy as personal property, doing whatever they wanted without shame. For women like Dorothy who demanded to be treated like Executives -- equals, not groupies -- the ramifications were severe.
