ENTERPRISING WOMEN: 250 YEARS OF AMERICAN BUSINESS
Book ID/图书代码： 13014005B00063
English Summary/英文概要： Meet Katharine Goddard, owner of a print shop and publisher of the first signed copy of the Declaration of Independence; meet Madam C. J. Walker, whose hair care products brought her from her slave parents’ dilapidated cabin to her own Hudson River estate; and meet Hazel Bishop, whose "kissable" lipstick left an indelible mark on the cosmetics industry even after her own company disappeared. These are just three of the diverse women whose lives unfold in this engaging history of women entrepreneurs in America from the colonial era to the end of the twentieth century. Some ran businesses in industries dominated by men, such as iron and aircraft production, while others built businesses that marketed specifically to women, in industries such as beauty, fashion, and food. Despite facing gender discrimination and the burdens of work and family, these women entrepreneurs understood the value of a good idea, were willing to take a risk, and believed in the possibility of the American dream of success.
Enterprising Women is the companion publication to the national traveling exhibition organized by the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, and the National Heritage Museum, Lexington, Massachusetts. Sponsored by Ford Motor Company and AT&T with support from the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Cabot Family Trust, the exhibition will open in Lexington in 2002 and travel to the New-York Historical Society, National Museum of Women in the Arts in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, Atlanta History Center, Women’s Museum in Dallas, Los Angeles Public Library, and Detroit Historical Museum.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 可以与拥有一家印刷所，并是《独立宣言》第一定稿的出版者的凯瑟琳•戈达德女士畅谈；可以与因护发产品而走出身为奴隶的父母居住的荒废破旧的小屋而拥有哈德逊河房产的大亨麦登C.J.沃克女士对话，；也可以与因生产口红而名声大振的海柔尔•比夏普会话，这位女性的口红产品在化妆品界划有不可小觑的一笔，其影响力即使在其公司不复存在后依旧存在着。 从殖民地时期到二十世纪，这本引人入胜的诉说女性企业家的历史的书仅展现了美国三位拥有不同背景的女企业家生命的光与热。这其中一些女性在男性主导的行业中大显身手，例如钢铁和飞机制造业。其他一些女性则在专门面向女性消费者的领域创建属于自己的天地，这包括美容、时尚以及饮食等。尽管面临着性别歧视和事业与家庭的三重压力，这些女企业家们深知一个新颖理念的价值，也深信关于成功的美国梦是可能的，所以她们愿意放手一搏。
