Pathways to Women’s Entrepreneurship: Today, Patrice Onwuka, director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at Independent Women's Forum, testified before the United State Senate on the importance of women in business:
* Women play a major role in entrepreneurship in the United States. Before the pandemic, women were starting an average of 1,817 new businesses per day.
* In 2021, about four in ten new entrepreneurs were women.
