註釋"Between 1905 and 1919, Sarah Breedlove (1867-1919), a black woman who was born to former slaves and worked as a laundress during her young adult years, founded her own hair care and beauty products manufacturing company and incorporated philanthropic giving into her business operations. With holdings and investments approaching $1 million in value, her company's success made her one of the wealthiest black woman in the country and caused her to become known as the first "self-made" millionaire woman. Adopting the initials and surname of her third husband, Charles Joseph Walker, Breedlove forged an entrepreneurial and philanthropic identity as "Madam C.J. Walker" and directed her giving to balck social service and educational causes dear to her and important to her business. ... She died in 1919 at the age of 51"--Page 1.
