Wonderful and insightful post; I really enjoyed hearing about the book "Women in Independent Publishing: A History of Unsung Innovators, 1953–1989"; fascinating that sometimes the most power is found in being willing to step outside of the typical avenues of commerce and publishing. Gives me hope that every story finds its home!
Glad you enjoyed it, Gita! yes, it's very freeing to step outside the typical structures. A bit daunting, but the freedom to chart one's own course more than makes up for that.
Did discussions at the Female Funders and Female Founders networking event address current, anticipated, and feared actions by the Musk/Trump administration that will challenge plans by female-led businesses & organizations?
Hi Leslie! Yes. Some of the business-owners are already feeling the effects of recent political actions. Loss of federal grants, or loss of funding for their customers, that kind of thing. Not necessarily overtly directed at women-led businesses, but there are few corners of our world that are not getting affected in some way.
