Women’s Museums At Home: Sparked! Girl Entrepreneurs

Apr 11, 2020

In times when many museums worldwide are forced to keep their doors shut, we invite you to engage with exhibitions and collections of women’s museums virtually. On this blog we will share with you online exhibitions or virtual views into our member museums worldwide.

Girl Museum presents the virtual exhibition Sparked! Girl Entrepreneurs:

Although we may not read about them in the record books, there is no doubt that girls and women have owned businesses  throughout our history. They have done this despite social values restricting their choices and placing barrier after barrier before them.  We look at girl entrepreneurs past and present from a round the world , their incredible achievements. and the challenges they have faced to get where they are today.
