Business referrals, start-up opportunities,international prestige all come easily to the emerging “Alpha Woman.” Time’s online refers to the Alpha Woman “as a force to be reckoned with. The impressive track record being established by a who’s who of alpha woman gives credence to their claim.

“Among them is a woman who was promoted to be the youngest partner of the world’s largest law firm while on maternity leave. Another was a single-mother taxi driver who was thrown off televi-sion’s Dragons’ Den but whose business is now worth £5m.

It takes, apparently, the alpha female. TimesOnline has rounded up 35 of them, all of whom you can review at the above link.
