Three of the (five) women of The Hill is Home. L to R, Jen DeMayo, María Helena Carey and Claudia Rauch.
For International Women’s Day, we would like to take a moment to recognize the many women who own small businesses on Capitol Hill — the businesses that help bring together our awesome community and neighborhood.
Washingtonian put together a handy map that highlights many of the women-owned businesses in the city. I couldn’t help but notice that there were a few missing. The map is a work in progress, however, so that’s not meant as a criticism. When I started to make a list of who should be added, I realized just how many small businesses on the Hill are owned and run by women! To all of you small business owners: you rock!
In addition to the businesses that made it to the map, I can think of the following businesses to add. Please add yours in the comments!
- 1424 Marketing
- Capitol Hill Yoga
- East City Bookshop
- East Side Yoga
- Gallery O on H
- Kathy Pugh EZ-8 Running
- Lavender Retreat
- Mr. Henry’s
- Rooted Pilates
- Saving Grace Pet Care
- Two Lions Antiques
- The Forecast
- The Hill is Home
