Life of the Party by Bob Kealing
Life of the Party by Bob Kealing is the untold story of Brownie Wise, the brilliant marketing mind who turned Tupperware into a household name and became one of the most influential women in American business history. Set in post-WWII America, this compelling biography charts Brownie’s rise from a single mother to a corporate star who pioneered the Tupperware Party model and then was shockingly pushed out of the empire she helped build.
An inspiring and cautionary tale, Life of the Party shines a spotlight on gender dynamics, innovation, and ambition in mid-century America.
