A Woman In Steel: Rebecca Lukens is a biographical book written by Robert W. Wolcott. The book tells the inspiring story of Rebecca Lukens, who was the first female CEO of a major American company. Lukens was born in 1794 and grew up in a Quaker family in Pennsylvania. She married a wealthy iron manufacturer and became involved in the family business. After her husband's death, Lukens took over the company and transformed it into a successful steel manufacturing business. The book chronicles Lukens' journey as a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry during the early 19th century. It explores the challenges she faced and the obstacles she overcame to achieve success. The book also delves into Lukens' personal life, including her relationships with her family and her involvement in the abolitionist movement. A Woman In Steel: Rebecca Lukens is a captivating account of a remarkable woman who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female leaders.
