Harriet White Fisher: The Untold Story of a Woman Who Defied Expectations and Changed Her World
From a disadvantaged childhood to one of the wealthiest American women in the early 20th century – Harriet White Fisher became the leading woman industrialist of her time.
Melting the components for making cast iron, pouring 2,000-plus degree molten metal into molds, finishing the anvils, vises, and rail joints – Harriet learned every function in her factory and would never ask a man to do anything unless she could also do the job herself.
Traveling the world and crossing oceans 29 times, Harriet led a grand tour with her chauffeur, her chef, and her maid as they drove around the world in 1909 and 1910, often going where roads did not exist.
