The Lady with Balls: A Single Mother's Triumphant Battle in a Man's World

By Alice Combs

During the 1970s, Alice Combs, undeterred by a former employer's condescending pronouncement, "You're just not corporate material," transformed herself from divorced mother on food stamps to successful entrepreneur. Determined, Alice overcame her initial ignorance of the recycling and baler-wire industries, and recovered from the novice mistakes she inevitably made while teaching herself to operate the company she created, Vulcan Wire, which would slowly grow to become a thriving multimillion-dollar business despite an embezzling partner, cutthroat competitors, and several employees who proved unreliable when they were most needed. Alice refused to be intimidated and simply wouldn't take no for an answer. Her exceptional achievement in a traditionally all-male arena is an inspiration for all women who aspire to the heights of success in their chosen fields.
