Tupperware brand products made their debut in 1946, the start of a revolutionary post-war period in history. For 60 years, Tupperware brand products have closely followed rollercoaster trends from the suburban movement to the 60's feminist revolution to '90s "cocooning" continually adding a unique organizational touch to the lives and kitchens across the nation. Just prior to its consumer introduction in 1946, inventor Earl Tupper's plastics-like materials of many manufacturers were dedicated to the war effort. The versatility and convenience of Tupper's "miracle" products helped to launch the plastics revolution of the next decade. Tupper's first consumer plastic products the Wonderlier® Bowl and Bell Tumbler offered a unique benefit that traditional food containers did not: they were lighter and less likely to break than traditional glass and crockery.
With the onset of the post-war "baby boom," women dedicated themselves to caring for their growing families. The "Tupperized" kitchen was born … a kitchen that was well organized and neat, and featured a variety of containers that replaced unsightly open packages and that kept food fresh longer. In 1946, Tupper introduced his legendary airtight seals patterned after the inverted rim on a can of paint which prevented food from drying out, wilting or losing its flavor in the now-common refrigerator. Despite their breakthrough nature, Tupper's products didn't sell well in retail outlets, primarily because consumers needed demonstrations in order to understand how they worked. In response, the first Tupperware Home Party was held in 1948, introducing an all-new way for Tupperware products to reach consumers. Demonstrations proved a dramatically effective way of communicating the benefits of the revolutionary seal. By 1951, the Tupperware Home Demonstration system was working so well that all Tupperware products were taken off store shelves to be distributed in this manner. The direct sales demonstration was a welcome diversion for women, whose involvement in the community mostly revolved around their family. Selling Tupperware products via the party sales method was an appealing career for these women, who had few career opportunities after their men returned from the war. As consumers relocated from large urban centers to homes in the suburbs, backyard barbecues became a favorite way for families and neighbors to spend leisure time. The new Tupperware products answered needs created by this popular pastime. The Party Bowl kept macaroni and egg salads fresh and cold outdoors, while The Pie Taker provided easy transportation for homemade desserts. The Dip 'N Serve™ Serving Tray functioned much the same way, making it simple to get chips and dip to and from the backyard or the picnic site. The '60s were times of social upheaval with the family undergoing social changes. As two-income families became more common, women actively pursued career opportunities and Tupperware filled the ensuing product niche with designs like the Traveling Desk, Drawer Organizers, and the Plastic Carrying Case. The huge wave of baby boomers that began having children of their own created a need for sturdy, stimulating toys. Again Tupperware rose to the challenge, introducing an innovative line of toys like the Shape-O® toy, a fun-yet-educational design which challenged each stage of a child's development from functioning as a rattle for infants to promoting eye-hand coordination in toddlers. While the demand for specialized kitchen products soared, Tupperware kept pace with changing palates by offering storage products like the Mix 'N Stor® Container, and the Tortilla Keeper for serving ethnic dishes. Thanks to advances in medical technology, consumers were living longer than ever before, resulting in an increasing population of seniors. During this era, Tupperware introduced the Instant Seal, which catered to a mature population with not-so-nimble fingers. This era also brought drastically changing lifestyles with more households than ever before requiring dual incomes to meet increasing economic demands. More women went to work outside the home faced with balancing their roles in the office and the home. A career in Tupperware offered these new entrants to the workforce a flexible way to earn money and spend time with their children. When microwave ovens first began entering kitchens, Tupperware introduced products designed specifically for both the microwave and conventional ovens. Once the microwave was fully accepted as a household appliance, Tupperware introduced products exclusively for the appliance such as the Microwave Reheatables line and TupperWave lines, which could warm up leftovers or cook the frozen foods that were becoming more and more a family staple. In keeping with the fast-paced '80s, Tupperware introduced products designed to maximize people's time. The TupperWave® Stack Cooker was designed to make a three-course meal for four in the microwave in 30 minutes allowing a busy population to have traditional family dinners while the Meals in Minutes Microsteamer prepared a fresh meal for two in 10 minutes or less. Modular Mates™ containers provided a storage system that could be custom-tailored to store staple foods in bulk, cutting down on waste and stretching grocery budgets and kitchen storage space. In response to growing environmental awareness, Tupperware containers offered positive alternatives to disposable wrap and packaging, including the Square-A-Way® sandwich keeper, the Box Lunch and the Lunch 'N Bag sets. The CrystalWave™ line of microwaveable food storage containers featured Braille and metric capacity measurements, reflecting Tupperware's continued responsiveness to consumer needs. The 1990's trends reflected a renewed emphasis on the home and traditional comforts such as home-cooked meals. Right in step with this trend, Tupperware launched an expanded product line of contemporary-design kitchen tools made with Tupperware's signature quality and ingenuity the Peeler Plus, the Coffee House Set, and the Double Colander combined traditional kitchenware with a '90s sophisticated savvy. By 1992, nearly half of all Tupperware consultants held full-time jobs in addition to selling Tupperware products. In deference to a trend toward "one-stop shopping," the company introduced "Value for Time" classes and "Custom Kitchen Planning" demonstrations, where customers learned about microwave cooking and food preparation, as well as ways to save money on their grocery bills, valuable cabinet space and time. In addition, "Rush Hour" and "Office" parties allowed Tupperware demonstrations to fit the busy schedules of time-pressed customers. Just as Earl Tupper's early plastic products revolutionized food storage and preparation, today's Tupperware products continue to enhance lifestyles by offering ingenious design, quality construction and a lifetime warranty. During the 21st century, the world will continue to change, and Tupperware will continue to evolve right along with it, using a modern approach to form and function to create convenient solutions to households tasks. Tupperware now reaches nearly 100 markets around the world, offering culturally distinct items such as the Kimchi Keeper, the Kimono Keeper and the Japanese Bento Box. In the new millennium, consumers can count on the same quality of Tupperware products representing extraordinary design for everyday living. Moreover, in today's information-age busy consumers can be sure of Tupperware's expansion into new channels such as the Internet and shopping mall showcases to meet societal change in marketplaces around the world.

Contact Me: Laura Miller 804-322-9469 Email: [email protected] It’s no secret that Kerry Washington is a huge advocate for women’s issues; she spoke at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and has had an active role in the global movement to end violence against women and girls. More impressive than her acting talent and activism is perhaps the way she handles her celebrity status and the platform that she is able to create based on her status. In a 2012 interview with Feministing.com, she clarified that it is not her “responsibility” as a celebrity to speak out on issues plaguing our society, but rather her responsibility as an American citizen and as a woman.
This differentiation is so important for girls and women to hear, because it reminds them that they do not need to be a celebrity or in a position of power to make a difference. Washington’s intellectual and practical approach to women’s issues is empowering, and it breaks the negative stigma that is commonly attached to the term “feminism.” In the same 2012 interview with Feministing.com, she responded to a question about her “favorite part of being a feminist” with the following: “The term feminist is so inclusive now. There isn’t one way to be a feminist or to practice feminism, to exercise feminism. You can be feminist in lots of different ways because the point is freedom of choice. I also want to say that I very much identify with the term womanist, but I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive. I also identify as a humanist. I don’t think that either of those terms are mutually exclusive.” Washington’s broad take on feminism is even more applicable in today’s society and within the global environment, because women’s issues are taken as human rights issues. Her bottom line of equality and her confidence in what she believes to be right is what makes Washington such a great role model for girls and women.

Few stories are as extraordinary as those of Zainab Salbi,
founder and former CEO of Women for Women International, an organization dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives after suffering war and civil strife. Born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq she grew up in a time of civil and political unrest. She came to the U.S. at a young age, and has since resided in the country while traveling to many other countries throughout the world to visit women who are desperately seeking to rebuild their lives after war. Zainab founded Women for Women International in 1993, and she remained CEO of the organization through 2011. The statistics of the organization are astounding; over 315,000 women have been helped, approximately 1.7 million family lives have been impacted, and $103 million has been distributed through either direct aid or microloans. Zainab had a vision that would not only give these women aid, but also the skills that they would need to quite literally rebuild their lives. The ability to touch the lives of women throughout the world is not limited by Zainab’s efforts with Women for Women International; she is also an acclaimed author of three books (the most recent book released in March 2013), featured in various publications including the New York Times, a highly coveted speaker, and an activist who has a voice that people not only want to hear, but also listen to. She speaks on the issues of women’s empowerment and relevant foreign policy issues, and was described in 2008 by Time Magazine as someone who “gives women a voice.” Zainab has been honored as one of the 100 Extraordinary Women who Shake the World by Newsweek, one of the Top 100 Women Activists and Campaigners by the Guardian, and she was named one of the most inspirational women in the world by the Economic Intelligence Unit. Zainab is also a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative’s lead team. “I find it amazing that the only group of people who are not fighting and not killing and not pillaging and not burning and not raping, and the group of people who are mostly—though not exclusively—who are keeping life going in the midst of war, are not included in the negotiating table.” - Zainab Salbi on women and war There seem to be an infinite number of words that you could use to describe Zainab—inspirational, activist, humanitarian—and what it really comes down to is the fact that she is a visionary paving the way for the future of women. Zainab had the courage to do what she felt needed to be done in order to impact the lives of women suffering from civil strife throughout the world by founding Women for Women International, and she has used her voice in multiple ways to reach the women of the world. Whether it is through her books, articles, blog posts, speaking engagements or in person, Zainab’s strong and hopeful voice can be translated throughout the globe as one of truth and empowerment for the past, present, and future of women.
