Happy Women’s History Month! Throughout history, women have cracked glass ceilings and climbed over legal, societal, and financial barriers to shape the ever-evolving American business landscape. Even during our nation’s infancy — when women were denied the right to own land, sign contracts, run for office, or vote – there were pioneering women who distinguished themselves as trailblazers – elevating themselves and, in turn, our Nation’s economy. 

In the spirit of the Founding Fathers of our Nation, Women Business Collaborative is proud to highlight some of our Nation’s prominent women in the history of business – those who stepped up when they were told to sit down. 

We invite you to read their stories and, in honor of WBC’s 5th Anniversary year and Women’s History Month, help us select the 5 Most Influential Women in Business from this list.
