Honoring the Great Widow with Tilar J. Mazzeo

In this episode of Choose the Bear, I talk with historian and bestselling author Tilar J. Mazzeo about one of my long-time heroes: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, better known as The Widow Clicquot.Tilar’s book, The Widow Clicquot, first introduced me to this visionary 19th-century businesswoman who revolutionized the champagne industry—and changed the way I think about legacy and independence. We dive into Barbe-Nicole’s story, Tilar’s writing journey, and other incredible women from history you may not know (yet!).I highly recommend The Widow Clicquot for your next book club—it’s the kind of inspiration that makes you want to build your own empire.💌 Have a question or want to share your single story?
