The Legacy of Jeannine Guillevin Wood
The Extraordinary Journey of an Exceptional Woman
By Jacques Hamelin, translated by Melanie Coggan, Collection « Success Story »
Back Cover: Her name is not known to the general public. And yet, for forty years, she was one of the most respected businesswomen in Quebec. After her death in December of 2009, Jeannine Guillevin Wood left behind a legacy of exceptional values: for her loved ones, human values; for the assistants and employees with whom she worked, business values.
When her first husband died in 1965, young Jeannine Guillevin’s life was turned upside down. For her, taking over the small family business meant running many risks. The risk of making mistakes. The risk of failing. The risk of being cast aside by a field for which the term “businesswoman” had not yet even been imagined. But in spite of it all, she chose to charge forward and discovered talents and an inner strength that she had never suspected she had.
The tale of her career gives us insight into the Quiet Revolution of the business community in the sixties. A community in which she managed, without any fuss or unusual show of strength, to carve out a very desirable position for herself. Although she always credited her success to the loyalty of her employees, her coworkers instead remember an exceptional woman who, through the force of her character and her integrity, had the gift of making them see the value of a job well done.
The Legacy of Jeannine Guillevin Wood tells the story of the extraordinary battle of this fighter, this woman of heart, this truly remarkable lady.
