Lauren Weisberger

Lauren Weisberger is one of those writers who turned a very specific, very miserable job into literary gold — and honestly, I respect that hustle enormously. She survived being Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue, which by all accounts is the kind of experience that either breaks you or makes you a bestselling author, and in her case it was the latter. The Devil Wears Prada came out in 2003 and was such a sharp, insider-y portrait of fashion world toxicity that it spawned a 2006 film with Meryl Streep that arguably overshadowed the book in cultural memory — which has to sting a little. A Cornell grad from Scranton, Pennsylvania, she's the rare person who weaponized their worst boss into a career, and for that alone she deserves a lifetime of Prada anything.
