National Women’s Small Business Month

October is National Women’s Small Business Month; this is a time to celebrate and acknowledge women owned businesses across the nation. In 1972, women only owned 4.6% of all businesses in the United States. As of 2021, women own 42% of businesses in the United States. That’s nearly half! Here in Liberty County, we have some amazing women-owned and operated businesses, from fashion forward shops to stores that promote spiritual well-being. We want to focus and highlight a few of our women-owned businesses in Liberty County. Check them out below and show your support.
