Women unltd: A Site About & For Women
Featured is a photo of "Any Woman" ... she could be anyone of us taking time out in her busy day to record life's happenings in her journal. I know the subject is the photographer's sister ... have misplaced attribution info ... can anyone help with this?
Showcasing Women and Women's Issues, Topics, and "Favorite Things".
Find Products and Services geared to Women and their needs and desires. Connect and Interact with those who share your interest in Women's Issues and All That Women Have to Offer!
Below you'll find Merchants and Products which speak to the topic of this site and which, in keeping with our mission as The Web's Concierge, have been carefully chosen and individually screened for your shopping ease and pleasure. They are not paid ads, but rather companies with whom we have selectively chosen to partner. We do earn a referral fee if you find something you like or need and purchase it. We have striven to bring you the "best in breed" companies ... those that: we like, our friends like, have great sites and service, have good online reviews, positive consumer reports, and are family friendly. Keep us posted with regards to your own personal experiences with them.
You may be surprised at companies that have not been included. The "noisiest" in the marketplace are not always the best. We have chosen 1) newer innovative companies that are performing well and garnering respect in their respective niches as well as 2) "Main Street" companies that have been reliably getting the job done for decades ... in some cases centuries. Our oldest partner, thus far, has been in business since 1819! That's staying power.
Rest assured, if we've included a certain vendor in a site's line-up, there's a very specific reason for it. You may have to hunt and poke a bit, but it'll be well worth the effort. Enjoy the adventure!
