Report...
I am a woman that came from the cotton fields of the South. I was promoted from there to the washtub. Then I was promoted to the cook kitchen, and from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations.... Everybody told me I was making a mistake by going into this business, but I know how to grow hair as well as I know how to grow cotton.
