13 Inspiring Books for and by Women Entrepreneurs
I love reading business and personal development books. I believe life-long learning is a non-negotiable mental habit if you want to build an extraordinary business and life. However, over the years, I have noticed one thing that bothers me – the vast majority of these authors tend to be men. Thus, in this blog post, I want to highlight 13 Inspiring Books for and by Women Entrepreneurs which I think you will love.
Why? Because I believe we all need role models. And seriously, there are many amazing women entrepreneurs out there.
These amazing women may not be out there everyday trying to steal the spotlight (chances are they are busy hustling and building an amazing business and life), but being able to read their authentic stories can be hugely empowering for all aspiring and successful women entrepreneurs.

#GirlBoss is a fun and witty book on how Sophia went from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retailers in the World. The book is filled with stories about her journey which is so important for women entrepreneurs to read.

There is no one way to success and this book is a perfect example of that. A unconventional, fun and inspiring read!

I have came across Carrie’s online brand Female Entrepreneur Association a few years ago. In She Means Business, Carrie gives the nuts and bolts on how to start, build and grow your business, as well as success mindset and self-care. The chapters are short and to the point and have practical action steps for you to take. A practical and inspiring read for any women entrepreneurs starting and growing a business.

You are a Badass helps you to identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want and to create a life and business you love. A no BS, straight to the point and fun read!
(5) Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley
Own Your Everyday is an empowering girlfriend’s guide to a purpose-driven life, from the young entrepreneur behind SoulScripts and the SHE podcast. Contrary to typical motivational self-help books, this USA Today Bestseller talks about taking the pressure off of yourself to do big things and instead encourages you to be intentional with and find purpose in your normal everyday business and life. An inspiring and interesting read!

Girl Code teaches you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your “why”, eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection. Because at the end of the day, that’s what life and business is all about. Cara is funny and warm and she talks to women of our time.
