In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney

In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney is Instead of being inspired by this book, I was distracted by the social-political agenda that weaves throughout it. After a while the text began to sound whinny instead of victorious and celebratory. It comes across as a book proposal with a heavy deadline rather than anything of substance and soul. Skip this one, not worth the time or money.

In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney is Didn't investigate carefully enough before I bought the book. I thought I might learn of successful women who owned and operated their own businesses in all walks of life from all over the U.S. and other parts of the world. Not so. Artists, authors, a few culinary arts experts, music, fashion--and most are from New York or California. Two or three from Georgia, a couple of other states and maybe a half dozen other countries. Question/answer format was boring. Disappointed. Probably won't finish reading it.

In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney is I'm pretty disappointed in this book. Each woman answers the same general questions about being in business. There's not much at all about how each individual creative found success. It's so frustrating. I feel like very little effort was put into "writing" this book. It could've been great. It's not.

In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney is Beautiful photos! I appreciate Bonney's goal to expand the circle of women who operate their own businesses. I guess I was expecting more; like a few reviewers, I found the Q and A format tedious after awhile. I would have preferred the book divided into categories (chefs, boutique owners, etc.). And, even by age, or the age that each woman "found" her passion. Also, more than half of the women represented are in NYC, not sure why,but after awhile, it felt like I was reading about a very small sampling from an overly familiar pool of people. And, like another reviewer mentioned, the businesses that the women own are not named, a real minus from my perspective.
