There is a great article about her Biography & Obituary on Vogue UK. And the Lilly story is also told on the blog Lilly Pulitzer: Our Story.
In addition to gorgeous clothing I really admired the Lilly story. I am most impressed by women entrepreneurs who take something feminine they love & turn it into a great business. More so than women who just succeed in a man's world. That's why there are so many "how to succeed in business" books for women. I think you're wired for the aggressive business world of typical corporate America, you force yourself to be someone else during the work day, or you recognize the value in what you love and create something amazing with it. Something those men at the top would not even think of. I hope to become like Martha Stewart who made a successful career out of baking cookies! Or Julia Childs who re-taught us how to cook & appreciate real French foods! Or Lilly who started a juice stand & realized she needed bright prints to hide the juice stains!
Thank you for bringing such beauty & happiness in all your designs!
