Description
During the 1970s, undeterred by a former employer’s snobbish pronouncement, “You’re not corporate material,” Alice Combs transformed herself from divorced mother on food stamps to successful entrepreneur. Alice resolutely overcame her initial ignorance of the baling-wire and recycling industries, and recovered from the many novice mistakes she inevitably made while teaching herself to operate Vulcan Wire, which slowly became a thriving business despite an embezzling partner, cutthroat male competitors, and several employees who proved unreliable when they were most needed. Alice refused to be intimidated; she simply wouldn’t take no for an answer. Her exceptional achievement in a traditionally male arena is an inspiration for all women who aspire to the heights of success in their chosen fields.
Advance Praise
“Alice Combs undertook a journey into the world of business that many women know little about—the hidden world of products that allow the economy to thrive. In her memoir, Alice is revealed as a creative, courageous and prescient woman and mother who remains humble and honest about her life efforts. The title is aptly drawn from the man’s world in which she competed and excelled.”
—Dr. Linda Lambert, author of The Justine Trilogy and eight books on leadership
