Features: Beauty and love are synonyms for women. In the myths of the vast majority of ethnic groups, the goddess of beauty and the goddess of love are always female. However, this role has become increasingly complex after the 20th century, with no period in human history having generated as much debate over women's social status, gender roles, and life values. Since the rise of feminism in the last century, the entire societal ideology has been profoundly transformed. Like many existential questions, "what is a woman" is a proposition that may never have a definitive answer, and this question can only be validated through the life practices of ordinary women in microcosmic contexts. Therefore, this series of books does not aim to solve this proposition (which is also beyond our reach), but rather presents the lives of diverse and vibrant women to indirectly provide readers with real and vivid case studies, allowing them to discover the answers on their own. Estée Lauder, one of the most successful women in the world, is particularly remarkable for having achieved this entirely through her own efforts. Born in a slum, Lauder started her entrepreneurial journey with a skincare formula from her uncle. She founded her personal brand in 1946 and gradually transformed it into a world-class cosmetics company. Through making women more beautiful, Lauder enriched herself and became even more prosperous. This book includes chapters such as "A Life of Genius," "Josephine of Crown Town," "The Lapel Sisters," "Uncle Scholes," "Catherine of Milwaukee," and "The Blonde Beauty."
