Friday Fun Fact + Women’s History Month

I admit to loving history. It’s fascinating to me to learn back stories and little known facts about people who influence culture, society, science, the arts, business, history, and the world!

Today the spotlight is on MARTHA MATILDA HARPER. Her inspiring story begins in 1857 when she was born.

Martha, a former servant, founded the FIRST EVER FRANCHISED BUSINESS, Harper Method Shops.They offered HAIR AND BEAUTY SERVICES. Her innovative approach to business and empowerment of other WOMEN AS BUSINESS OWNERS marked a significant milestone in history.

This Women's History Month, we tip our hats to Martha Matilda Harper—a TRUE BUSINESS TRAILBLAZER who not only revolutionized the beauty industry but also paved the way for countless WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS.

Throughout Women’s History Month, I will champion women's achievements.
