I am so excited about this book, people! Grace Bonney, tastemaker and founder of the online lifestyle and inspiration mecca that is Design*Sponge, has written a book called In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs. Ummm… Yes! Everything about this, please!
About the book, from Design*Sponge:
“Across the globe, women are embracing the entrepreneurial spirit and overcoming adversity to start their own creative businesses. In the Company of Women, Grace Bonney’s new book, features interviews and portraits of 100 of these exceptional leaders across a diverse range of races, ages, backgrounds, and industries. There are young media titans and mother-daughter fashion houses, hoteliers and ceramicists, tattoo artists and architects. Each inspiring interview is accompanied by lush, original photographs of the women in their workspaces—and together, the women’s stories paint a beautiful picture of what female entrepreneurs can achieve if they work hard and support one another. Chock-full of practical, empowering advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs and makers, these interviews offer insights into what success really means, overcoming obstacles, staying true to yourself, and so much more.”
As part of the book launch, Grace will be speaking at my alma mater, The New School, on Wednesday, October 5th at 7 PM. She will be joined by some of the awesome women featured in the book, including my interior design hero (and the only decorator you’d want to get on Trading Spaces) Genevieve Gorder.
And guess what? I have two tickets! Which each come with an autographed copy of the book!
