I`ve been reading about Female Entrepreneurs from a book I picked up called The Power of Women United. It`s written by 2 authors, Tina Dezsi and Lia Bandola, however there are about 20 other women sharing their stories so really it has 22 authors.
It`s an amazing story to read… all the stories I should say.
After reading one, you just want to go onto the next one. I loved it. I could relate to each and every one in some way.
the best part of this book, is you can use it as a tool to come back to help mentor you through you success

The article talks about networking, but I bet there’s also some mentoring going on there. Groups of like-minded people always look to help each other. Having one shared office space for women in New York is a natural answer to a business challenge. I love the concept. I wish I was in Manhattan!

You know what they say. Birds of a feather flock together. Women have a lot in common from a business perspective. Some feel like they can’t break through glass ceilings in the corporate world and so have decided to venture out on their own. I can see why female entrepreneurs would want to gather together in a shared office space and network.

Sounds like there’s some good synergies in this office space for women. Women may help other women where men wouldn’t. I think it’s a great idea. I didn’t get the sense that they are excluding men for spiteful reasons, just that they are interested in helping a part of the demographic that has been underserved in business.

Give me a break. Does this mean they won’t rent office space to a man? It would seem to me that would cause some sort of discrimination suit. I’m not sure what to say about that. It sounds like a nice office environment anyone would want to work in. Who says guys don’t like fresh flowers?

This is interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen shared office space that specifically targets women. I guess I should have figured something like this would be in New York. Manhattan has something for every niche. Sounds like they atmosphere is conducive to the female creative flow, with flowers and a pleasant interior design.
