Women in Business: Book Club

October 13, 2026 12:00 AM - November 12, 2026 12:00 AM (CDT)

Description

Join Women in Business as we dive into We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America by Kate Andersen Brower and Norah O’Donnell.

From the founding of our nation to the present day, women have played critical roles in shaping America, even when their names and contributions didn’t always make it into the history books. We the Women brings those stories to the forefront, introducing us to courageous, determined and influential women whose ideas, leadership and perseverance helped move our country forward.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this book gives us the perfect opportunity to look back at the women who helped build the nation while sparking conversations about leadership, opportunity, resilience and the women who are still shaping what comes next.

We’ll break the book into five parts, with weekly recaps and discussion beginning the week of October 12. Read along with us, join the conversation and discover a few hidden heroes you may wish you’d learned about years ago.
