Why Women?s Edge?

Women's Edge is the first and only monthly magazine
to focus on stories for and about Triangle women in the
business, philanthropic and non-profit arenas. From
inspiring profiles and motivating stories to relevant trends
and educational tools, Women's Edge enhances
women's personal and professional lives.

The Triangle is a growing market of women in the business community. Women lead companies, own their own businesses and make a difference in their organizations, firms and corporations. Women make a significant impact not only in the workplace, but in the lives of others.

Triangle women have been instrumental in the creation and development of this magazine. Focus groups, round-table discussions, hundreds of one-on-one conversations and thorough research have planted the roots for Women?s Edge . The magazine will be a blueprint to inspire, motivate, collaborate and mentor professional women throughout the Triangle.

Women?s Edge will respond to Triangle women?s interests. These include professional development, leadership, profiles, success stories and lessons learned, education, peer mentoring, business development, financial management, health, wellness and lifestyle.

Women influence the business world, as well as account for more than 80 percent of consumer purchases. Women?s Edge is proud to provide a regional magazine for women who change the face of education, technology, life sciences, government, business, healthcare, non-profits and philanthropy. Our purpose is to be a voice for and about professional women in our community, a vehicle to help mentor those who are up-and-coming and a strong advocate for women supporting women.

Women?s Edge represents the leadership and strength of women and their commitment to the community. It is a voice for and about Triangle professional women.
