Audience Question and Answer
  Question 1: You gave a statistic that in 1999, thirty-eight percent of American businesses were owned by women. Do you have figures or percentages on women’s business failures?
Question 2: Can you tell me about two things that personally appalled me at the exhibit today: the law of coverture and the Supreme Court ruling on women as being in different spheres of life. When did these laws begin? How did they end?
Question 3: This week, the Simmons Graduate School of Management released a study that said, shockingly, [that only] a small number of teenage girls are showing interest in careers in business. Is this part of a larger trend?
