Saleswomen

Vivian Ward turns the tables on some Rodeo Drive saleswomen in the movie "Pretty Woman."

All the salesmen and saleswomen are striking next week.

All the salesmen and saleswomen are going on strike next week.

I know one of the saleswomen there.

In nineteen-oh-six, she married Charles Joseph Walker. He was a newspaperman who had become her friend and adviser. From then on, Sarah used the name madam C. J. Walker. Madam Walker organized women to sell her hair treatment. She established Walker schools of beauty culture throughout the country to train the saleswomen. The saleswomen became known as "Walker Agents." They became popular in black communities throughout the United States. Madam Walker worked hard at her business. She traveled to many American cities to help sell her products. She also traveled to the Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Panama, and Cuba. Her products had become popular there too.
