Choose Women Wednesday is celebrated every year on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. This year, it will be held on November 29. The day seeks to appreciate, support, listen to and stand up for women. It also attempts to create awareness about the many women working for and successfully running businesses in a world that still thinks a woman’s place is at home. The day is celebrated in hopes of countering these old notions and instead of making people realize the potential and power women hold. The day educates both customers and businesses on making the right choice and uplifting female entrepreneurs and promoting women-owned owned-businesses.
