Created by Women for Women: Disrupting Mainstream Standards and Creating Inclusive Products and Spaces
We asked these visionary female founders to share the why behind their businesses. From bridging the gap between tech and gender inclusivity, to challenging definitions of beauty and taking the taboo out of periods, this talk was packed full of passion, insights, and myth-busting power.
“It’s about creating new terminology and that’s partly the difficulty. You’re having to pave the way to disrupt some old, persistent language and habits.”
