Framed Print of Madam C.J. Walker, American Entrepreneur
Madam Walker at the wheel with friends, 1916. Sarah Breedlove (December 23, 1867 - May 25, 1919), known as Madam C. J. Walker, was an African-American entrepreneur and philanthropist, regarded as the first female self-made millionaire in America. During the 1890s, Walker began to suffer from a scalp ailment that caused her to lose some of her hair. She experimented with homemade remedies and store-bought products. She moved to Denver to work on her hair care products, and married Charles Joseph Walker, a newspaper advertising salesman. She emerged with the name Madam C. J. Walker, an independent hairdresser and retailer of "Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower, " a scalp conditioning and healing formula, which she claimed had been revealed to her in a dream. In 1906, she put her daughter A'Lelia in charge of the mail order operation while she and her husband traveled throughout the southern and eastern United States to expand the business. She began to teach and train other black women in women's independence, budgeting, and grooming in order to help them build their own businesses. She also gave lectures on political, economic and social issues at conventions sponsored by powerful black institutions. She died in 1919, from complications of hypertension, at the age of 51. © New York Public Library / Science Source
