2014 Was the Break-out Year for Female Entrepreneurs

Why has Forbes referred to 2014 as the break-out year for female entrepreneurs? Reasons are aplenty:

For example, nearly 20 percent of early stage “angel” funding was invested in women-led businesses in 2012 – a growth of 40 percent from the previous year. The number of women-led businesses with more than $10 million in revenue increased 57 percent – significantly faster than the growth rate of $10 million-plus businesses overall.

As the article below says, “Supporting female entrepreneurship is not only the right thing to do – it’s the smart thing.”
