For a piece I am writing for the end of the year, I'd like to hear from
people about who are the women entrepreneurs they admire--name,
company, and why.
We're not only talking tech here, but all areas--manufacturing, design, services, media, etc.
For the purpose of this piece, let's define an entrepreneur as someone who starts and or leads a business where they are a clear driver of its development and growth; one critera for fitting this list will be whether their specific actions have driven revenue, audience acquisition, social change, or other success metrics.
Please email me at smernit at gmail dot com with suggestions; I'll acknowledge everyone who contributes suggestions who includes a working email address and/or URL.

I sincerely admire Lynn and consider her not only a good friend but a mentor willing to help anyone who's willing reach their goals. She's a true rags to riches success story who doesn't forget where she came from!
I admire any woman entrepreneur who sets a goal and works hard to reach it!
