In the Company of Women

Grace Bonney brings together more than 100 women, among them makers, artists and entrepreneurs, who describe how they embraced their creative drive, overcame adversity and helped spark a worldwide movement of entrepreneurship. The range of work is wide: ceramicists and tattoo artists sit beside architects, comedians, hoteliers and media titans, and the profiles mix inspiration with practical advice from their own experience. The collection became a New York Times best seller. It also inspired Good Company, a print magazine Bonney began publishing in 2018 aimed at women and non-binary creatives at any stage of life, which was meant to appear twice a year and ran for three issues.

A mentor pointed Cat Williams-Treloar to it when she founded Humanisation, and she still takes out the large coffee table volume of business stories whenever she wants inspiration.
