In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs Hardcover – Illustrated, October 4, 2016

Immediately upon learning Grace had put together this book, I couldn't wait to order it and start reading! Anna Rifle Bond is one of my greatest design heroines, and I was thrilled to see her inclusion in the book. As a designer, I couldn't help but love the soft texture of the cover with the debossed type, the solid pink inner cover, and the beautiful photo of Dana Tanamachi's studio. Ugh!!! My original intent was to read one interview each night before bed. NO CHANCE! Instead I read 15 last night and couldn't put it down. I suspect I will have to start reading this in the mornings rather than at night because it makes me so energized I just want to get up and design something. Thank you, Grace, for this lovely idea! This would be the perfect gift for any female creative :) On top of it all, the photography is beautiful and inspiring. I just absolutely love it.

I got this book because I found it at the library and could hardly bear to return it, I loved it so much! It's a format which is a quick read and provides instant inspiration and motivation. With individual profiles of women and large stand out quotations on each page, this book is great for when you only have a moment to glean something important before setting the book down due to the busier aspects of life. This is NOT a business how-to, so don't get it if that's what you're after. However, it does have personal thoughts on business and what helps the women included in this book to succeed.The item arrived in GREAT shape, better than expected, and VERY quickly.

Woman inspirations!

This kindlebook of In The Company of Women; Inspiration and Advice From Over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entreprenurs by Grace Bonney is a motivational/inspirational compilation. Women from various backgrounds and walks of life are featured along with very helpful/honest insights (such as one of the women making it clear that it is sometimes necessary andor not unusual for a person to endure mockery andor social isolation either from some of their family members, professional associates andor friends on their way to achieving their dreams/goals).

I took this book with me for a long period of time (I usually read a lot and quite fast), reading stories at one moment or another to motivate me and to feel that I am not alone.I really enjoyed it, I took the time and I checked those amazing women’s companies and work. I also think it is important that we read about very different women in (mostly) the creative and artistic industry; because there was a time :) we really used to read about one kind of woman boss only (if we read about it) and it is difficult to identify when we are so different, thankfully it is not the case here. Nice book for women who want to launch their business or are feeling stuck and in need of inspiration.

High quality photos and motivational interviews of women from all sectors! I love to give this book as a gift to to women following their dreams.

When my daughter was 3 she saw a female on the back of a trash truck and she said "women can't do that, that's for men". I immediately corrected her and started showing her that women can do anything they want to do. As she got older, she's now amazed to see women in positions of power so I bought this book for her to show her how incredible women are. I want her to know she can be creative and smart and beautiful and powerful and strong and fun; and this book with the big beautiful pictures of all these creative business owners has been great for her. For me as well, to remind and encourage me that I can be creative and artistic and successful as a business owner.

I absolutely love this book for 100 different reasons. If you care about your sister, mother, daughter, grandmother, wife and auntie, this is the perfect gift to give. I have referred many to purchase this book. As I have given this book to a few ladies that could appreciate the insightful stories. I am able to pick a random page and read something that can place a smile on face. I love it.

I am so glad i ordered this book, so many great women, read about one each day, great coffee table read. Everyone that comes picks it up and reads it.

This was a birthday present for my daughter in law

Well if you're a woman entrepreneur in technology, or aspire to be one, you can skip this book as it includes only women entrepreneurs in arts and fashion mostly.
