International Women Day
On today, International Women's Day, let's reflect on the growth that has unfolded for gender equity as we continue to break the glass ceiling. There are more businesses owned by women than there ever was before. The owner of Pinot Palette included!
The first time Women's Day was celebrated was in the United States on February 28, 1909. This day honored the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.
The brave acts of these women helped to provide a path for the future.
2021 statistics reflect that 40% of US businesses are women-owned. There are 114% more women entrepreneurs than there were 20 years ago.
Let's continue to build each other up creating a brighter future for the next generation!
