March
is Women's History Month. To honor women this month, the Old
Dominion University Libraries are celebrating American women
in business and industry.
Over
the course of our history, women have made remarkable strides
in every field and at every level. As
stated in A to Z of American Women Business Leaders &
Entrepreneurs:
From
colonial innkeepers, merchants, and printers, to 19th-century
factory owners and dressmakers, to the financiers, founders,
and corporate executives of today, American women have succeeded
in business. Although many did not receive credit for their
contributions, American women have made their mark in virtually
every field, both in areas that were traditionally associated
with women and areas that were considered for men only. (Sherrow,
2002, p. xi)
At the Old Dominion University Libraries, our hope is that you'll
use this web page to learn more about the history of women in
business & industry -- the progress they have made
and the pride they can take in their many accomplishments.
