Why Women Build

More tool manufacturers and hardware companies need to take note of women's interest in building and repairing--not just decorating. I think we're still a large, untapped market as a rule. While there are some inroads and some products targeted toward women, in general the industry is geared toward men.

Even little things like tool belt aprons--I mean, you put a few things in there and the apron just weights your hips down! It's stressful for your back. I'm going to design my own tool apron, one that's made to fit a woman's body.

Here's a great article from Habitat for Humanity, which is one organization that recognizes the value of women in building!
