In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women's businesses -
from small local concerns to financial empires - offered women
independence, supported their families, and supplied essential
goods and services to their communities and the world. They also
contributed to much-needed legal and social change and set the
stage for the female entrepreneurs who would come later. All this
was accomplished despite immense financial barriers, an inequitable
legal system, and the widely held belief that women had no business
in business. Women's Concerns explores the lives of twelve women
who owned and operated businesses in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. It focuses on the ways they created personal and public
identities and managed the contradictions between their
entrepreneurial ambitions and deeply entrenched attitudes about
women's roles.
In this inspiring guide, writing teacher and anthropologist Jepson
draws on her worldwide travels and studies of spiritual traditions
to present a refreshing approach to the art of writing. Through
rituals, exercises, dream analysis, and more, writers will find
fresh techniques for honing their skills, overcoming creative
blocks, and finding their authentic voices, while writing bravely,
honestly, and with true vision.
