Sinossi
Prima donna libera della sua famiglia, Sarah nasce in una piantagione di cotone in Lousiana. Fin da piccola lavora nei campi, cucina, pulisce, lava la biancheria e fa la babysitter... La sua chioma ribelle è sempre coperta da strette fasce, ma un giorno i capelli iniziano a causarle fastidi e pruriti, fino a cadere. Invece di arrendersi, Sarah decide di prendersi cura di sé e di tutte le donne afroamericane. È così che arriva a inventare la lozione per capelli migliore tra tutte quelle conosciute al tempo, diventando Madam C.J. Walker, milionaria grazie alla sua formula di bellezza. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.
