Our friends at 1Berkshire have been celebrating Women in Business this month, hosting some great events and posting some awesome content online, including spotlights of women doing business in the Berkshires.

That’s a bandwagon we’re happy to jump on … did you know that here in the Berkshires (where we at WP hang our hats) there are more than nine million women-owned firms? That’s a big number … and doesn’t account for the scores of VPs, directors, managers, and other skilled, creative women doing business within other companies.

To celebrate along with 1Berkshire, we’ve curated a set of photos and articles we’ve seen in our neck of the woods recently that herald the savvy, sense, and sass of women in business in western Massachusetts.
