Martha: A hard-working perfectionist who got really unlucky (4/5)
To Martha: In case you ever read this, I just wanted to say that you deserve better. Thank you for agreeing to do the documentary. Mad respect. Would love to visit your home for a brunch or dinner if the opportunity ever comes up. ✌️
I’m projecting, but will go ahead and say that if you’re a late 80s or early 90s millennial from the US, Martha Stewart is most likely one of three things:
After watching this film, my perception of Martha is, for the first time, actually informed. More importantly, it has changed completely.
Realistically, she is just a perfectionist, hard worker, blunt, honest, smart woman who got extremely unlucky on a few occasions, treated unfairly by people around her and targeted due to her reputation and wealth.
Early life - I never knew she gave wall street a shot. I was impressed that she just came in and succeeded. She left not because things went south, but because it was her first time hitting real failure as a hard working perfectionist. I can relate, and it’s something you learn to deal with in your 20s.
