To celebrate International Women's Day I thought it would be a great time to think about the smart, powerful and hard working women in our community.
Yesterday, I asked a simple question on my personal Facebook page, "What are your favorite local businesses owned by women." Within a few hours I received more than 150 comments with 200+ businesses—everything from bike shops and snowboard companies, to architecture firms and restaurants. (And the list keeps growing!)
While women work all the time–I'm looking at you mothers, daughers, sisters, care-givers, colleagues–this is by no means a definative list of all of the dedicated women doing great things in Utah. It's a start. Go discover something new, run by a cool woman. Find her and say thank you.
(My apologies if I missed one of your favorite haunts, send me an e-mail to eugenie@krcl.org and I'll be sure it gets included.)
