A brief overview of the life of Sarah Breedlove, aka Madam C.J. Walker. What an amazing woman.

Read about history's first black Businesswomen aka entrepreneur. Born out of slavery from losing parents in childhood to plucking cotton in fields to becoming the revolution. Madam C. J. Walker astonished me in every way. I'm dumbfounded to find a great woman in the 18th century.
She has a valuable lesson for every one of us: to dream of possibility.
There are beautiful illustrations, and the book itself is so pretty.
I would close my eyes and convince everyone to read this book.
Thank you, Rebel Girls, for your marvelous work.

I can't get enough Rebel Girls! This book taught me about a black female entrepreneur that I had never heard of.

I had heard of Sarah Breedlove before this book, as America’s first female self-made millionaire, but she isn’t really talked about in UK schools. I appreciated this book even more then, learning about how she built her company up from nothing, specialising in products for black hair. As her company grew, she continued to provide opportunities for other black women, either through selling her products or working as stylists in her salons across America. I love that it was haircare that made her millions, as I think there’s a tendency to look down on girls and women who value things like makeup and good hair - a great reminder that your passions are valid!
