Women's Interest

Once, women's interest books were focused on the domestic sphere--on cooking, mending, and homemaking. We women have a proud history in those areas and we should celebrate that. But being a woman can also be about trailblazing. At Opal, we look at women's interest broadly, both in terms of our massive innovations in the home and in terms of the accomplishments we've had as cultural icons and trailblazers.
