Reflections on Black History Month
and Women's History Month
ByArlinda Smith Broady
Morris News Service
As we move from Black
History Month to Women’s
History Month, it’s important
to reflect upon the accom
plishments of black female
business pioneers.
Lately in conversations
with young women, I’ve been
pleased to see that many have
allowed themselves to strive
for “nontraditional” careers.
Most of them don’t feel threat
ened by or inferior to men,
quite the contrary.
However, none knows much
about women in the past who
had similar “outlandish” aspi
rations. These women faced
ridicule, instead of garnering
pats on the back or choruses
of “You go, girl!”
But the statistics don’t lie.
According to the Center for
Women’s Business Research:
Nearly 10.4 million firms
are owned by women (50
percent or more), employing
more than 12.8 million people
and generating $1.9 trillion
in sales.
Three-quarters of all
women-owned businesses are
majority-owned by women (51
percent or more), for a total of
7.7 million firms, employing
more than 7.1 million people
and generating sl.l trillion
in sales.
For the past two decades,
majority women-owned firms
have continued to grow at
about two times the rate of
all firms (42 percent vs. 24
percent).
Women-owned firms, those
50 percent or more owned by
women, account for 41 percent
of all privately held firms.
There are 2.4 million firms
owned 50 percent or more by
women of color in the U.S.,
employing 1.6 million people
and generating nearly $230
billion in sales annually.
Between 1997 and 2006,
the number of privately held
firms 51 percent or more
owned by women of color
grew five times faster than
all privately held firms (120
percent vs. 24 percent).

HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
Women of color own 42
percent of all firms owned by
persons of color, up from 36
percent in 2004.
While those numbers are
impressive, they came about
because a long line of women
fought against the odds.
Here’s the story of one:
About a century ago, the
daughter of former slaves
transformed herself from an
uneducated farm laborer and
laundress into one of the 20th
century’s most successful,
self-made female entrepre
neurs.
Born Sarah Breedlove on a
Louisiana cotton plantation,
this young woman worked
her way north to work for
relatives. She began to suf
fer from a scalp ailment that
caused her to lose most of her
hair. She experimented with
many homemade remedies
and store-bought products.
In the early 1900 s, shortly
after marrying and chang
ing her name to Madam CJ
Walker, she developed a scalp
conditioning treatment and
started her own business.
To promote her products,
Walker traveled for a year
and a half on a dizzying cru
sade throughout the heavily
black South and Southeast,
selling her products door to
door, demonstrating her scalp
treatments in churches and
lodges, and devising sales and
marketing strategies. In 1908,
she temporarily moved her
base to Pittsburgh, where she
opened Lelia College to train
Walker “hair culturists.”
By early 1910, she had
settled in Indianapolis, then
the nation’s largest inland
manufacturing center, where
she built a factory, hair and
manicure salon and another
training school.
As her business contin
ued to grow, Walker orga
nized her agents into local
and state clubs. Her Madam
C. J. Walker Hair Culturists
Union of America convention
in Philadelphia in 1917 was
one of the first national meet
ings of businesswomen in the
nation.
