In Madam C.J. Walker Builds a Business, Sarah Breedlove (AKA Madam C.J. Walker) reinvents and rebrands herself as a forceful entrepreneur whose products still dominate the black hair care industry today. Born on the same plantation where her parents were once enslaved-Sarah is the first child in her family born free. When Sarah is just a girl, she learns the value of hard work. She cooks, she cleans, she picks cotton, she does laundry, and she babysits. By fourteen, Sarah is a wife and by eighteen she is a mother. From the stress of backbreaking labor and having to grow up so quickly, Sarah's hair begins to fall out! Instead of falling into despair, Sarah learns how to take care of her hair and invents her own recipe to encourage her hair to grow. But Sarah has a problem. She can't get people to buy her products at first. So, she rebrands herself as "Madam C.J. Walker," a fancy high society lady with the authority and know-how to help black women with their hair. As Madam C.J. Walker, she builds a business empire, dominates the black hair care market with her natural products, and offers opportunities for other poor washerwomen in her community to have a path to financial freedom. With her immense wealth, she treats herself too. She buys herself cars, fancy dresses, and a mansion with 34 rooms! This is the story of a leader in the hair care industry, which is now a multibillion-dollar industry, but it's also a tale of the importance of empowering women to become economically independent. After Words includes text on Madam C.J. Walker's lasting legacy today as well as educational activities on entrepreneurship.

THE Mini (Paperback, New Ed): Ed Carlow THE Mini (Paperback, New Ed)
Ed Carlow
R169 Discovery Miles 1 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Suez crisis was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 followed by France and the United Kingdom. The purpose was to remove the then Egyptian President and take control of the Suez canal, which was vital to western Europe for moving goods. Egypts had just nationalised the canal. This was a humiliating defeat for the invaders and resulted in petrol rationing in the U.K. This then led to a slump in the sales of large cars and the market for German bubble cars boomed. This led to Leonard Lord, the head of BMC and the man who detested these foreign small cars to call for a British small car. This was the birth of the mini. This car became a favourite with the swinging sixties celebrity set and was featured in the famous Michael Caine movie The Italian job, where Caine's character, Charlie Croker, utters the famous line ` you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off' The material in this book should be accessible to an year 8 student and as such should be ideal reading material for the vast majority of students in schools and F.E. colleges. This book is in a series on old technology and is specifically designed to develop reading in teenage males. We were asked by a Midlands College to provide something that encouraged young males to read, since they were literally not reading anything. Since many of them will be weak readers, the book also comes with an audio recording on a disc. The student can then, if they need to, listen to the audio as they read. This will be of interest to schools, colleges and academies where there are reluctant readers.
