The word 'entrepreneur' is of French orgins. It is a sparkly, sassy, sexy word; and is used by millions worldwide, to identify those who drive economies of all kinds: cultural, financial, or spiritual. It's a hip word, in that those who are entrepreneurial set, rather than follow trends; are orginal, free-thinking dynamite.
An Entrepreneur-esse, then, is simply an explosively female entrepreneur. An empress, even. She makes things happen, and does her own thing - her own way. These are the punkettes of the boardroom, and they are taking the universe by the scruff of its neck. And spinning it. Some are millionairesses. Some are simply feeding their families on their own terms. All are redefining our concepts of what it is to be successful: it's a personal thing.

Top 10 entrepreneur-esses.
1. Madonna
2. Kate Moss
3. M.I.A
4. Sharon Osbourne
5. Your mum
6. Vivienne Westwood
7. Gwen Stefani
8. Madame Tussaud
9. Lily Allen
10.Jaqueline Gold (Ann Summers)
This top ten list is no way exhaustive: there are, literally, billions of amazing, inspiring entrepreneur-esses all over the world. But what I find interesting, is how many women often simply do not identify with the term 'entrepreneur'. And how many deeply entrepreneurial innovators in the world - both men and women, balk at calling themselves 'entrepreneurs'. Artists. Healers. Club promoters. Musicians. Freelancers. Designers. Inventors. Protestors. Charity-founders. Even many successful business-owners. Why?
