An American legend with a name that is globally recognized, Estée Lauder was a businesswoman, matriarch, and innovator. Starting from humble beginnings in Queens, New York, before transforming a small skincare business into a worldwide portfolio of beauty brands, Lauder was one of the first in her field to recognize the power of word-of-mouth advertising while also building an empire based not only on product, but lifestyle. It's all explored in Assouline's Estée Lauder, an in-depth book built with the help of Estée's granddaughters Aerin and Jane, and filled with personal letters, family photographs, and company archives.
