    This Week in Business History for August 16th: Julia Child- "Only a Businesswoman"

    In this episode of This Week in Business History, Kelly Barner shares the story of Julia Child’s life, from military service to the first cooking show to be hosted by a woman. Most of us know so much about her show, The French Chef, that we don’t know anything else about her life’s journey – but it was as unpredictable as the rise of a novice’s souffle. She discovered cooking late in life and didn’t even graduate from cooking school until age 40, but her desire for adventure served her well.
