Description
Helena Rubinstein: A Lost Chapter in Her Life. This meticulously researched biography focuses on Helena Rubinstein's years in Australia as a young woman, uncovering a 'lost' chapter in her remarkable story. Born in Poland in 1872, Rubinstein arrived in Australia at the age of 23 and spent the next eleven years building her life and business. During this period, she worked as a governess and waitress before opening her first beauty salon in Melbourne. The events that followed reveal the surprising origins of her extraordinary rise to creating one of the world's first global cosmetics corporations. With its absorbing narrative, this book sheds new light on Rubinstein's early years and the foundations she laid for her global empire. Foreword by Sarah Krasnostein praises the author's 'extraordinary scholarship' and dry humour, making this an unforgettable portrait of a remarkable woman.
