Women-Owned Businesses the Hot Topic of 2008

Wednesday May 28, 2008
It looks like 2008 is turning out to be The Year of Women in Business.

At the Wall Street Journal website, a new section has just been launched. "Journal Women," dedicated exclusively to women in business, will feature content created by two of the WSJ's better-known female columnists, and the blog "The Juggle" will examine how women balance family and career.

Not to be outdone, here at About.com we've already added a new section on the same topic with a new Women in Business guide, Lahle Wolfe, founder and CEO of her own company and an 18-year veteran of small business development and management.

Women in business has become such a hot topic because of the phenomenal growth that women entrepreneurs have seen in recent years. Whether they operate sole proprietorships or head up firms that employ hundreds, women - and most notably, women of color - are seeing successes that equal and even outstrip their male counterparts.

Take a look at these ten facts about women-owned businesses and see what many women are realizing: Now may be the best time to strike out on your own.
