The Inventor and the Legacy of Tupperware

Earl Tupper created lightweight, non-breakable plastic containers, resembling paint cans, that revolutionized kitchen storage. Tupperware parties, started by a woman named Brownie Wise, became a popular way for women to earn income while maintaining their domestic focus. Earl Tupper abruptly fired Brownie Wise, causing her to struggle with unsuccessful business ventures. Tupper eventually sold the company for $16 million and divorced his wife, living the rest of his life in Costa Rica.
