In our fame-crazed culture, she's known as a diva of domesticity,
entrepreneur, media magnate, and a living brand. She has legions of
fans and at the same time, many detractors. To her fans, Martha
Stewart is a homemaking maven, the do-it-yourself doyenne. To her
detractors, she's taken the American woman backwards, espousing an
unobtainable ideal. Love her or hate her, this much is true: Martha
Stewart is a self-made woman who has risen from her modest
upbringing to become one of the most successful and wealthiest
businesswomen in history. This intriguing biography provides a
balanced portrait of Martha Stewart's professional and personal
life, from her childhood as the oldest daughter in a family of six
children to her brief career as a securities trader, to becoming a
bestselling author in the 1980s and CEO of Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia in the 1990s. At the height of her power, Stewart was
convicted of lying to investigators about a stock sale. Author
Joanne F. Price documents the twists and turns of the trial,
Stewart's five-month prison term, the highly publicized comeback
following her release from prison in March 2005. Each carefully
organized chapter examines the multiple facets of Stewart's life
and draws upon multiple sources, making this biography an ideal
research tool for students interested in knowing more about the
woman behind the media and merchandising empire. A timeline
chronicling important milestones, a rich bibliography of print and
electronic sources, and photographs enhance this life story of one
of the most controversial and intensely watched business icons of
our time.
