"Along with her brother Herbert Marcus Sr. and her husband A.L. Neiman, Carrie co-founded in 1907 the famed Neiman Marcus department store in Dallas, Texas. Carrie played an integral role in the store's success, despite having three strikes against her: she was a woman, she was Jewish, and (after her husband's illicit relationship with a second-floor saleswoman), she was divorced. Yet with impeccable taste and exemplary manners, she traveled as a buyer to New York in the 1920s ... Carrie was self-taught and never attended college. Her only pregnancy ended in miscarriage; she worked at Neiman Marcus until her death at age 66"--Amazon.com.
