Description
Who Was Mrs. Musterman?
We often think of women who came of age in 1900 as submissive flowers waiting to be plucked, but not Lillian Johnson. No, this remarkable woman left her small Virginia town and headed to the big city -- Baltimore -- to become a milliner. She took her creativity to Annapolis, Maryland, where she created Gainsborough hats, married, and became Mrs. Musterman. When her third child was born, her husband fell ill and suddenly she became the sole breadwinner of the family. Then her employer died. What was she to do? How would she survive? If she can possibly succeed, she must have her own shop and years of crowning the heads of the women of Annapolis. She once said, "Nothing is impossible if you really want to do it."
