Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

By focusing on six female entrepreneurs, Enterprising Women captures the essence of what it means to own your own business: the pitfalls and the joys. Women are relatively new to the area of business ownership, but they’ve already demonstrated a high success rate in a variety of fields. The women profiled here run companies dealing in pasta, lumber, fish, silk-screening, and a business academy. Each one expresses her personal and business philosophies.
