About This Quiz

If you like classic Hollywood glamour, mid-century modern style, female-focused comedy or a good family drama, we bet that you're already obsessed with "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." This period dramedy, from "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, has it all, from a romantic 1950s New York City setting to a strong female lead. 

Based loosely on the true story of Joan Rivers' rise to fame, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" tells the tale of Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a nice Jewish housewife who becomes interested in comedy after her husband Joel flops at a Greenwich Village open-mic night. After she dumps Joel for cheating on her and performs an incandescently funny set, Midge catches the attention of beatnik Susie, who wants to manage her. Midge is intrigued, even though neither her conservative mother Rose or peppy best friend Imogene would approve of this move. 

If you've ever wondered how you'd fit into the world of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," this is the quiz for you. We're going to ask you about your favorite piece of jewelry, most-used work excuses, Joel opinions and more. By the end of the quiz, we'll have figured out which "Maisel" gal has the same personality type as you. So, are you ready for a trip to classic NYC? Pack your bags, then come play this quiz!
