The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post

Woman wearing backless, blue formal dress

Cereal company heiress dared to do more

PASO ROBLES, CA – February 15, 2023 Join the discussion of Allison Pataki’s The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post on Wednesday, March 15, 6-7 pm, in the Library Conference Room. 


Marjorie Merriweather Post’s journey began gluing cereal boxes in her father’s barn as a young girl. No one could have predicted that Post’s Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Not content to stay in her prescribed roles of high-society wife, mother, and hostess, Marjorie dared to demand more, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States. And yet her story, though full of beauty and grandeur, was equally marked by challenge and tumult.

This title is available in various formats through the catalog. Registration is required for each participant. For ages 16+.
