Inc. Knox Gelatine

Born in 1857, Rose Knox became closely tied to the growth of Knox Gelatine, the company she built with her husband, Charles B. Knox. The business grew from a simple packaged gelatin product into a widely recognized American brand.

After her husband's death in 1908, she took over leadership of the company and expanded it at a time when few women held such powerful business roles. She became known for energetic promotion, product education, and marketing that helped bring gelatin desserts and recipes into everyday home cooking.

Rose Knox is often remembered as one of the notable businesswomen of her era. Her work with Knox Gelatine left a lasting mark on American food culture and on the history of women in business.
