Famous Women Entrepreneurs

Wednesday February 1, 2006
Historically, entrepreneurship has been a male-dominated pursuit, but many of today's most memorable and inspirational entrepreneurs are women. To honor them and offer some uniquely female perspective on entrepreneurship, I've added a new category for famous women entrepreneurs, featuring profiles of Oprah Winfrey, Mary Kay Ash, Anita Roddick and more.

I was thrilled to find this site in the Google results when I was looking for a web site my Girl Scouts could use to research famous women entrepreneurs. Imagine my dismay to discover that one your prominent examples is a porn star! By choosing to include this one entry, you have negated the appropriateness of this site for any use by students. And let’s face it, I don’t think that many people besides students who have to do a report are going to read about “Famous Women Entrepreneurs.”
