The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post Discussion will be held at the Paso Robles City Library on March 15; 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+.

The Library is Monday-Friday 9-7 and Saturday 9-4. Call the library at 805-237-3870 or
