On June 3, the Center of Policy Alternatives sponsored an entrepreneurship action day in 18 states designed to draw attention to strategies that capitalize on women's economic power. In conjunction with that national event, the center also identified nine women entrepreneurs from across the nation that stand as models of accomplishment and wisdom to women with vision everywhere. Fast Company spoke with these nine business pioneers in order to better understand the drive, conviction, and sacrifice necessary to succeed in a male-dominated world. They don't acknowledge style differences in how many women lead and manage. It doesn't matter whether that mind belongs to a man or a woman, or a Martian quite frankly.

I am not sure why they tend to think this, as we prove them wrong every time. The power of women in the marketplace is extraordinary. They spend a lot of money, but many products and services are targeted toward men. We'd like to flex women's economic muscle.
