Studies have shown that most successful female entrepreneurs tend to start their businesses as a second, or even third career. Because of this, most enter the entrepreneurial business world later on in life than their male counterparts, often at around 40–60 years old.
The women in this infographic bear that out:
- Martha Stewart was a stockbroker until she was 35.
- Julia Childs was a government file clerk until she was in her 30s.
- Vera Wang only wrote about fashion until she was 39.
