Liz Claiborne died Tuesday. She had not worked at the company she founded for over 15 years. Its origins came from her desire to make clothes for women who worked. The kind, she said, who were never going to make it into the boardroom. But she did. Her company went public in 1981 and was the first female-owned company to break into the Fortune 500 in 1985. The group now owns Ellen Tracy, Juciy Couture, C&C California, and Kate Spade.
