The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki
This is a magnificent book about a magnificent woman! I knew absolutely nothing about Marjorie Post before reading this book, but I have now learned a great deal about this fascinating woman whose father, C.W. Post started a cereal company that became General Foods. Born in 1887, before women could vote or even think about running a business, Marjorie defied the odds and used her inherited and self-earned fortune to help others throughout her long and very full life. The story details her four marriages along with her entrepreneurship, political and social life, family life and her charitable contributions to the country. The book brings Marjorie to life and showcases her many accomplishments.
