Tupperware Parties

Tupperware served as one of the first products that launched women as entrepreneurs. Women sold Tupperware at parties in the domestic space in the company of other women. Wise sold Tupperware and Earl Tupper noticed and took over the company. Tupperware allowed women to make the domestic space a place where they could profit.
