Enterprising Women: 250 Years of American Business
This web site is an extension of a national exhibit about some of the fascinating women who helped shape the landscape of American business over the past few centuries. The trials and triumphs of this diverse group of women inventors, innovators, and trendsetters is told through a “stories quilt,” where you'll find biographies of each. Resources for educators on how to use exhibit content in lessons, games that test historical knowledge and entrepreneurial savvy, and a section where contemporary businesswomen can help today's aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing their own “stories” are among the highlights.
