Since March is Women’s History Month, each year we dedicate our March issue to the incredible work being done by female entrepreneurs.

As Dr. Helen Fisher explained in our February issue: “When women began returning to the workforce, the balance of power between the sexes shifted. And as more women graduate from college—not to mention earn as many PhDs as men—their economic and political power will only continue to grow.”

As you scroll down, you’ll see that all of our columnists this month are women, from our Entrepreneur of the Month Lee Woodruff, to our featured Leadership columnist, Joanna Barsh, the author of How Remarkable Women Lead, and our Truly Amazing Woman of the month, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

You’ll also find a wealth of wisdom from our columnists: Immigration attorney Linda Rahal helps businesses prepare for the Obama Administration’s crackdown on illegal foreign employees; management training expert Alice Waagen teaches us to collaborate better; and HR expert Barbara Mitchell discusses the future of women in the workplace.

Striving for work-life balance? Check out 10 tips to de-stress from our Healthy Living columnist Jill Leslie. Culinaria Cooking School Chef Marilena Leavitt offers three delicious, nutrition-packed recipes from her upcoming Greek cooking classes. Simplicity Urgent Care’s Dr. Salma Haque provides guidelines for women on when to seek medical attention for headaches.

But what does it mean to be a powerful woman? Like the heroine in the opera Carmen, illustrated above by Michael Gibbs, women make tough choices every day. This issue is dedicated to helping readers dive deeper into considering how to best ways to grow their companies, care for their families, and make time for themselves. Those who do it with grace and courage are profiled in the book I’m writing, Truly Amazing Women Who Are Changing the World.
