Description
The incredible and true story of hair-care tycoon Madame C.J. Walker. Born into poverty on a Louisiana plantation, the child of former slaves, and orphaned at the age of 7, she began to concoct her own hair treatments as a young woman and sold them door-to-door, eventually making a fortune and providing dignified employment to many other African American women.
