There are so many biographies and memoirs about businessmen and companies founded by men. I’ve long thought we didn’t have enough books about woman-founded companies and female entrepreneurs.

That’s why I was excited to see a new book this summer about the founding of one of my own favorite brands, Kate Spade New York. We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship With Kate Spade is written by Elyce Arons, Kate “Katy” Spade’s best friend and one of her co-founders.
