Rare was the woman who competed and succeeded in a man’s work world during and after the Second World War. Widowed at the age of 34 in 1946, Marian Langdon, mother of nine children, became the instant owner and operator of her own scrap-metal business. She not only worked with a cutting torch in a rough and tough business, she succeeded while raising her family. At the same time, she contributed enormously to her community. Honored as Mother of the Year in her own state, and runner-up in the nation, she taught her children to be model citizens. Given the challenges she had to overcome, and the tenacity she displayed, her example is an inspiration to all of us—single mothers, parents, business women and others. Marian’s story—filled with fascinating tales of Idaho in mid-century—is told with love and filled with insights for us today.
