From the world of�Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls�comes a story based on the life of Madam C.J. Walker: America�s first female self-made millionaire.

Sarah is the first person in her family who wasn�t born into slavery in Delta, Louisiana. But being free doesn�t mean that Sarah doesn�t have to work. She cooks, she cleans, she picks cotton, she does laundry, and she babysits. And when she works, she wraps up her hair.

One day, Sarah�s hair starts to fall out! It�s itchy, crunchy, patchy, and won�t grow. Instead of giving up, Sarah searches for the right products. And then she invents something better than any shampoo or hair oil she�s used before. Her hair grows and grows! That�s when she decides to rebrand herself as �Madam C.J. Walker,� and begins her business empire.

Madam C.J. Walker Builds a Business�is the story of a leader in the hair care industry, but it�s also an inspiring tale about the importance of empowering women to become economically independent.
