Women have come along way since they left the kitchen.
Today women control 80 percent of spending in the US and they control 65 percent of spending worldwide!
Women are also becoming a potent force within the workplace as employees and job creators. An increasing number of women are going into business for themselves, and as they do they're taking the lead in creating products that will be marketed toward the people who control most of the money.
Here are three inspiring stories of successful women entrepreneurs:
Limor "Ladyada" Fried - Adafruit Industries
Limor Fried took something incredibly complex and turned it into something that was cheap and easy for the masses.
Her company sells open source DIY electronics kits that allow her customers to create complex machinery with very little hassle.
She's been rewarded with a whopping $10 million in profits, and it looks like the business is on track to continue growing into the coming years.

As I sat quietly on the plane ride home, it became as clear as day: Everything I’ve done to date was gearing me up to empower a billion women entrepreneurs by 2020." - Shannon Wilburn
