Martha the Hairpreneur: From Servant to Business Empress

I jusr finished reading this book. Interesting. This all occured about 1 hour from my hometown and I had never heard of her. There was a news story about her during Women's history month in March.

If you really want to "Teach your children well," as the song goes, Martha the Hairpreneur: From Servant to Business Empress is a must read for children (grandchildren and students) to give them a perspective on how one woman made history and lay the foundation for the famous franchises we know today, such as McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, etc. Harper's pioneering spirit is inspirational and motivational for young entrepreneurs. Teach your children well...and feed them on Martha's dreams!--Nina Wolff, retired teacher/director of English, mother and grandmother

Fascinating story about an early pioneer in business and social entrepreneurship who happened to be a poor woman turned business empress!

My 10 year old daughter and I have very much enjoyed sitting down and reading this together!

This was a quick read for my 11 year old daughter and me. It is a well told, remarkable story about an inspirational woman who overcame some impressive obstacles in her life to become an incredibly successful businesswoman. I'd highly recommend this story for young girls in particular!

Inspiring story based on a real person. A wonderful example of one person's ability to surmount terrible obstacles and make not only her own dream come true but to enable hundreds of others to do the same through her business vision and skill. A wonderful read for young people.
