Celebrating Women Leaders and Entrepreneurs: Reading List

In honor of Women's History Month, we're celebrating women entrepreneurs and leaders with this reading list. 

Serena Williams has a beautiful quote that says: 

"The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble."

The women entrepreneurs and leaders whose books appear on the list come from all different walks of life. Yet they all have in common the desire to inspire, help others, and make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone else.
