Vision of Beauty: The Story of Sarah Breedlove Walker
A vision of dignity and freedom and a powerful role model for girls and women of all races.
Lasky "chronicles the life of Sarah Breedlove Walker, who was born in 1870 in Louisiana to former slaves and became the richest African-American woman of her times and a major philanthropist... In her 30s, she experimented with natural ingredients and chemicals and created a formula to restore the health of both hair and scalp. Beginning with door-to-door demonstrations in "colored" women's kitchens, she built her business into the Mme. C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company, by 1912 'one of the biggest companies in America.'" -- Publishers WeeklyFor more true stories of pioneering girls and women, visit A Mighty Girl's Biography section.
