Download or read book Market Women written by Cheryl A. Smith and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In stark contrast to popular belief, women of the African Diaspora have engaged in economic and leadership activities throughout the course of history. Black women around the world draw from a tradition of thousands of years of strategies that have enabled them to face and conquer the challenges of life as women of color. And yet today, black women are marginalized by an economic and financial community still dominated by white men. In Market Women, educator, activist, and entrepreneur Cheryl Smith sets the record straight, applying insights from a variety of fields to trace the roots of black women's entrepreneurship, as it is currently practiced in the United States. Featuring in-depth interviews with 19 present-day entrepreneurs (in ventures as diverse as catering, bookselling, millinery, and construction), Smith reveals an approach to business that is based on personal relationships, pooling of resources, a sense of humor, apprenticeship and mentoring, and strong mother-daughter bonds that defy traditional definitions of business success, wealth creation, and power. In the process she gives voice to a long-disenfranchised group whose struggles and triumphs in business illuminate universal themes that transcend race and gender. The result is a rich and unique study of business from a fresh and eye-opening perspective and an inspiring account of achieving success against tremendous odds.

Readers will learn how to find funding for an idea; how to build relationships and partnerships which are critical for growth; and how to successfully tackle the many roadblocks which will be thrown your way when starting your own venture. Further, the author offers a comprehensive list of resources and advocacy groups for black women looking to lead in the tech industry. This book will serve as an invaluable reference for understanding the common obstacles faced and the creative solutions required to grow and sustain a business in the technology sector.
