Introducing a new non-fiction book about the first woman to hold any real power in Corporate America.
Peg Wyant shares her journey as the first woman Brand Manager at The Procter & Gamble Company, where she led the gender and diversity charge, grew some of the world’s most iconic brands all while raising four children.
After Procter, Peg went on to trail-blaze in venture capital, real estate and entrepreneurship.
Neither the hairy arm of a southern trucker in a ’60s sit-in which blocked her escape route, nor the recent devastating, near bankruptcy causing breach of contract by one of the Cincinnati’s most powerful men was enough to stop Peg. Only the tears of a five-year-old could do that.
As P&G’s former CEO John E. Pepper, Jr. writes in his Foreword, “Peg’s story strikes me as Mad Men brought alive through a young woman’s eyes.”
