Today’s business world is composed of an increasing number of female creators and entrepreneurs, changing the gender narrative against all odds. If you’re looking for some advice and lots of inspiration, this book is a must-read.

In her book “In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs,” design entrepreneur Grace Bonney features intimate portraits of women across many different industries, ethnicities, religions, sexual preferences, and ages.

In this New York Times Bestseller, over 100 exceptional and influential women describe how they embraced their creative spirit, overcame adversity, and sparked a global movement of entrepreneurship. Media titans and ceramicists, hoteliers and tattoo artists, comedians and architects – taken together, these profiles paint a beautiful picture of what happens when we pursue our passions and dreams.

Chock-full of practical, inspirational advice for those looking to forge their own paths, these interviews detail the keys to success, highlight the importance of everyday rituals – for example, meditating and creating a daily to-do list – and dispense advice for the next generation of women entrepreneurs and makers.

But perhaps what’s most interesting about this book is the diversity of voices it includes. “I loved the ways business books for women were happening, but they seemed to be telling the same story of a thin, white, relatively wealthy straight woman over and over again,” Bonney had told Vogue.com in 2016, when her book was released. “At a certain point, I realized we were really missing out by not hearing more voices, and more voices in their own words.”
