Summary

From housewife to billionaire CEO, Martha Stewart is not just the businesswoman with the Midas touch, she is also a lightning rod for many of the most important and controversial social and economic issues of post-WWII American life.

In the unauthorized Martha Inc.: The Incredible Story of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, business writer and columnist Christopher Byron traces Martha's journey from the troubled world of a working-class family in New Jersey to the pinnacle of fame and power as the head of the billion-dollar business bearing her name. In Martha Inc., Byron shows that the great irony in Martha's triumph is that she has grown to global fame by celebrating a domestic life she never actually knew. Out of an imagined bliss, Martha created a media and merchandising empire devoted to the celebration of home, food, and family.

Top Quality Campy Trash

Only John Waters can do camp well on purpose. Other campy gems just have to be stumbled upon like this little bitter gem frothing at the mouth. My husband and I rolled on the floor laughing throughout this over the top performance and ridiculous book. How dare Martha Stewart breathe in, and then have the audacity to EXHALE! It's like listening to your most bitter relative's Facebook posts come to life. I highly recommend listening to this book with your friends while drunk.
