**An inspiring biography of a woman who rose from a bleak world of
poverty and discrimination to unprecedented success as an influential
businesswoman and philanthropist. Born December 23, 1867, Sarah
Breedlove Walker was the youngest and first freeborn child in her
family. As sharecroppers, their lives were hard, but slavery had ended,
and the Breedlove family was free. And if you were free, you could
dream.
Back matter includes an epilogue, an illustrator's note, sources, and an
index.
