"Idea Makers shares the incredible stories of 15 women who changed the world through their entrepreneurship. Author Lower Bundy Sichol presents five industries that women are leading in recent years: food, health and beauty, science and technology, clothing and fashion, and education. Readers learn about how the women featured risked their early careers, gave up their salaries, and sometimes even went against the approval of their families to follow their passions. Today, these women are modern leaders, worth billions of dollars and employing tens of thousands of individuals. The women profiled in Idea Makers will show readers how business can change the world."--From back cover.
