The Apprentice: Martha Stewart
Stone was one of the few contestants in the show to have a spotless record as Project Manager, winning every time during her three turns as PM.
Working with a background in independent niche magazine publishing, Stone served throughout 2006 as Vice President of Business Development for MSLO's recently acquired magazine, Body + Soul. This position came with a one-year, US$250,000 introductory contract.
At the end of the year she was given the opportunity to extend her time with MSLO with performance-based pay raises on her starting yearly salary, but she decided to go back to Florida and continue running Her Sports.

Famous quotes containing the words martha and/or stewart:
“You’ve strung your breasts
with a rattling rope of pearls,
tied a jangling belt
around those deadly hips
and clinking jewelled anklets
on both your feet.
So, stupid,
if you run off to your lover like this,
banging all these drums,
then why
do you shudder with all this fear
and look up, down;
in every direction?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.?, Kashmirian king, compiler, author of some of the poems in the anthology which bears his name. translated from the Amaruataka by Martha Ann Selby, vs. 31, Motilal Banarsidass (1983)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
