Title: Ding Dong! Avon Calling!: The Women and Men of Avon Products, Incorporated

Author: Katina Manko

Narrator: Elisabeth Rodgers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:25:04

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership, Business Development

Summary:

With their distinctive greeting at homes across the countryDing Dong! Avon Calling!sales ladies brought door-to-door sales of makeup, perfume, and other products to American women beginning in 1886. Working for the company enabled women to earn

money on the side and even become financially independent in a respectable profession while selling Avons wares to friends, family, and neighborhood networks.

Ding Dong! Avon Calling! is the story of women and entrepreneurship, and of an innovative corporation largely managed by men that empowered women to exploit networks of other women and their community for profit. Founded in the late nineteenth century, Avon grew into a massive international direct sales company in which millions of ambassadors of beauty sat in their customers living rooms with a sample case, catalogue, and a conversational sales pitch. Avon was unique in American business history for its reliance on women as representatives, promising them not just sales positions, but a chance to have a business of their own. Being an Avon Lady avoided the stigma that was often attached to middle-class womens work outside the home and enabled women to maintain the delicate balance of work and family. Drawing for the first time on company records she helped acquire for the archives, Katina Manko illuminates Avons inner workings, uncovers the lives of its representatives, and shows how women slowly rose into the companys middle and upper management.

Avon called itself The Company for Women and championed its high flyers, but its higher echelons remained dominated by men well into the 1990s.

Avon is more than perfumes and toiletries, but a brand built on women knocking on doors and chatting up neighbors. It thrived for more than a century through the deceptively simple technique of women directly selling beauty to women at home.

Summary:

An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestselling Gordon Korman.

Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika.

Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing?

Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever.

The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to facenot just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past.

With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the 'who did it?' isn't nearly as important as the why.
