I made a list of woman-owned businesses
I've seen a few posts asking about this now, and it's actually something I've done a little digging into. There are a few different directories of woman-owned businesses, but unfortunately they're mostly lists of tiny independent skincare and fashion accessories brands, etc.
When it comes to big accessible woman-owned brands you might actually find in stores, here are the ones I'm aware of:
- Away suitcases
- Parachute bedding and sheets
- Jungalow (home decor widely available at Target)
- CLR cleaning spray
- Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day (candles and cleaning product line also found at Target)
- Partake gluten free cookies and snacks (I see them at the grocery stores where I live)
- Stasher reusable silicone storage bags
- Tushy
- Oui the People razors and skincare
- Bomba Curls hair cair
- Girlfriend Collective clothing
- Tomboy X underwear and swimsuits
- Mejuri jewelry
- Dagne Dover utility bags
- Brother Vellies footwear (yes it's a woman-owned company despite the name)
- Dear Sundays non-toxic nail polish
- Outdoor Voices active wear
These are the ones I'm aware of, if anyone wants to suggest more or make any corrections, please feel free.
There are also a bunch of random woman-owned skincare and cosmetic brands I didn't bother to compile because I don't do cosmetics and I couldn't bring myself to clutter up the list with a bunch of random creams and makeup brands, but if anyone feels like getting into it, again please feel free.
You can also use Yelp to search for woman-owned restaurants, boutiques, bookstores etc. I haven't tried it but this might be good for finding local stuff in your specific area.
In addition to all that I would suggest we only pay for books by female authors. Prefer female artists and professionals whenever possible. Men have been refusing to pay us what we deserve for centuries.
Honestly I think the #1 most realistic, efficient and practical thing we can do for ourselves right now is to keep our wealth in female hands. I hate it, but in patriarchy money is power.
