　　Madam C.J. Walker was a millionaire (百万富翁) at a time when African-American women usually cleaned houses for low pay. Madam C.J. Walker was a woman who embodied (体现) the great American dream. But more importantly, she used her fortune and influence to try to make a difference in her community.

　　Walker made her fortune by developing and creating hair-care products for African-American women. At that time, no one else was filling that demand. Walker took a very small idea, and turned it into a big company.

　　Walker was the first child in her family born in 1867 in Louisiana. Her parents had been slaves, but gained their freedom in 1865. Sadly, Walker was orphaned at 7 years old. She got married at 14, but her husband died when she was 20. In 1888, she moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, where she worked as a poor washer woman and developed her drive to succeed.

　　Surviving as a washer woman, she had to be good at marketing her skills, but then she took that to the next level, marketing her products. She traveled throughout the country after she married her third husband. She advertised for her products in the newspapers African-Americans read and had cards printed with her information on them. At a time without airplanes and telephones, she traveled across the country spreading the word of her company. She and her husband went to the Black churches in each town speaking with all the women. She used “before” and “after” pictures in ads, to show how well her products worked — something still done by her company and copied by others today.
