It’s hard to believe that women have only had the right to vote since 1920. We’ve come a long way over the last 100 or so years, and that’s thanks in large part to the pioneering women who’ve been trailblazers in their fields, ultimately making things more equitable between the sexes. But with the gender wage gap still prevalent in the workplace and the pandemic destabilizing a lot of the progress women have made over the last few decades, we have a long way to go. To help level the playing field and boost a significant part of the economy and our community, it’s essential to support women-owned businesses.
