The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki

2.0

---

I feel like this book would have been better as a nonfiction. It's the story of Marjorie please with the daughter of the man who created the Post company. She comes from nothing in Battle Creek Michigan to a extreme wealthy woman. Of course this is an error where women aren't really allowed to run companies and to have much influence especially if they are married. She does marry several times. She marries four times each of them without long lasting love. I found it hard to connect to her because she flitted from love to love and because while she does love her children she was not an active role in their lives. Nevertheless she was an amazing entrepreneur who set her company up for success by getting Bird's eye foods and other acquisitions.
