What Can Brown Do for You?

 

Earlier this month, I saw a piece about the state of female entrepreneurship in the New York Times (in the Fashion & Style section, for some reason. I guess they thought it was the only section women read.).

The story introduces us to Nell Merlino who started Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence and the Make Mine a Million program, and presents the question: with so many women starting businesses, why do so few break the million dollar mark?
