Summary:	Do Tupperware parties and Mary Kay sales empower individual women, or do they exploit personal relationships for corporate gain? Looking through the overlapping lenses of gender, work, and culture, Susan Williams and Michelle Bemiller critically explore the world of party plan sales. The authors investigate this $30 billion a year enterprise through a wide range of case studies that unpack its personal and professional results for women. Closely examining the promises of multi-level marketing programs, their book challenges the way we see women¿s participation in the party plan economy.
