In the 1950s, saleswoman Brownie Wise propelled Tupperware to skyrocketing success through home party sales. In this living-history program, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., tells the story of Wise's rise from single mother to head of an enormous sales force of housewives who sold Earl Tupper's flexible "burping" bowls at home parties. Forced out by Tupper in 1957, all mentions of her were erased from company history, but the Tupperware Home Parties she pioneered remain the gold standard for home party selling.
