web site just about "women on business"

This web site talks a lot about women and business. Here are just a few things they talked about during women's month...

-Women are making their presence known in the workforce, not just as employees but leaders as well. Women business owners employ 13 million people and account for 40% of all privately held firms. There are also 1.9 million firms that are majority-owned by women of color in the U.S. These firms grew faster than all privately held firms between 2002 and 2008.

-So, as we reflect on the history of women in the workforce this coming month, there is no doubt that we have come a long way. For example this article from 1943 on hiring women, written for male supervisors of women during World War II, includes “tips on getting more efficiency out of women employees.” As you can see, things have clearly changed. Take some time in March to remember the women who have worked so hard to make it possible for women in business to succeed today, and how we are helping the women business owners of the future!
