PRAISE FOR
Company of Women is a perfect combination of historical fiction and business strategy. It is no surprise that Doug Villhard (an entrepreneur himself) would be inspired to write about E.G. Lewis and his entrepreneurial endeavors.

I looked forward to the opening of each short chapter… never flashy, but always clever.
