Celebrate International Women’s Day With 42 Independent Female-Founded Brands

On International Women’s Day, I give you a list of 42 independent businesses founded by women that sell beautiful and useful objects, clothing, and self-care wares.

If I had all the time in the world, this list could be much longer. There is no dearth of female founders nowadays: A 2018 report found a 114 percent increase in women entrepreneurs over the past 20 years (compared to 44% for all businesses).

That’s good news for sure. But overall, women are still half as likely as men to start businesses, and those efforts make up just 4% of all business revenue. In other distressing news, startups founded by women typically receive less than men in investments: 935,000 vs. 2.1 million being the average for women and men respectively.

That same report found that for every dollar of funding, female-founded startups generate 78 cents, compared to 31 cents for startups founded by men. And somehow women still earn 80 cents for every dollar men make.

Bottom line: we have a lot a work to do. Let’s get started by shopping the brands below.
