As women, we enjoy supporting each other, both personally and professionally. We like to know that we’re being served by someone who understands our needs and cares about the outcome.

Throughout the years at V, we’ve gotten queries about women in various professions: “Do you know a female electrician? Lawyer? Realtor?”

So here’s our answer to those questions and many others! Not only does the Central Virginia Women’s Sourcebook provide a categorized directory with listings of businesses owned by women and of interest to women, it also provides “Tips from the Experts” and other editorial tidbits for added reader interest.

You’ll discover in these pages business services, medical professionals, restaurants, and retail. You’ll find a range of women’s organizations and nonprofits. Keep it handy all year long, to discover your next favorite shoe store, spa, health club, or coffee shop.

All of this fits perfectly with V Magazine for Women’s ongoing mission: celebrating the diversity of local women, helping them to live, learn, and grow. It’s our hope that consumers and businesses alike will benefit from the Sourcebook.
