Bizography with Dana Barrett

TUPPERWARE: Odd Inventor, Timeless Product, And A Woman Ahead Of Her Time

Earl Tupper deserves all the credit for the invention of Tupperware, but it's possible that without the work of Brownie Wise, it might have languished on the shelf.  And yet Brownie's story has largely been buried.  In fact, if Earl had his way, her story would remain buried in an airtight wonder bowl as if it never happened.  This episode of Bizography is the story of a determined inventor, a clash of egos, and a woman ahead of her time.
