Women’s Journey towards financial Equity and Freedom

Mapping women’s suffrage from 1840 to today

Visualizing our progress

I love being a business owner. It’s hard to imagine that would not have been a possibility for me only a few decades ago, in the United States, because I am a woman. Inspired by so many pioneering women around me, I decided to take a look into how women got to where they are today — on the shoulders of those before us.
