Cosmetic Queens

Author Elizabeth Kerri Mahon looks at the women entrepreneurs who created the beauty business, presented by The National Arts Club.

Women entrepreneurs such as Elizabeth Arden, Madame C.J. Walker, Harriet Hubbard Ayers, Estée Lauder, and the grande dame of them all Helena Rubinstein created the beauty business. They flouted convention, beat the odds, and brought men to their knees, proving that there was money to be made in lipsticks, nail polish, and facial cream.
