Madam C.J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, created specialized hair products for African-American hair and was one of the first American women to become a self-made millionaire.
On January 4, 1906, around the time the products were becoming more popular, she married Charles Joseph Walker. This changed her name to Mrs. C. J. Walker. She gave herself the name Madame to add a touch of class to the name of her products. As her business expanded, Madame Walker began a cross-country tour to show off her product while hiring and training new sales agents; mostly African-American women.
