Female entrepreneurs make up an increasingly important segment of the small business community. According to recent statistics from the National Women's Business Council, more than 36% of businesses in the U.S. are women-owned. Entrepreneurs are launching everything from solopreneur careers to tech startups and retail companies. They're ambitious, they're inspiring, and they offer a great perspective if you're interested in learning more about starting your own company – or what the day-to-day life of a business owner looks like. Here are six influential woman entrepreneurs you may want to check out:
