Life of the party [sound recording] : the remarkable story of how Brownie Wise built, and lost, a Tupperware party empire / Bob Kealing.

Kealing, Bob, (author.). Farr, Kimberly, (narrator.). Kealing, Bob. Tupperware, unsealed. (Added Author).

Summary:

Before Mary Kay, Martha Stewart, and Peggy Olson, there was Brownie Wise, the charismatic Tupperware executive who converted postwar optimism into a record breaking sales engine powered by American housewives. Here Bob Kealing offers the definitive portrait of Wise, a plucky businesswoman who divorced her alcoholic husband, started her own successful business, and eventually caught the eye of Tupperware inventor, Earl Tupper, whose plastic containers were collecting dust on store shelves.
