High fives to all of the ladies who run the world. March marks Women’s History Month, but why celebrate the countless achievements of women within a mere 31 days? In addition to breaking glass ceilings and sound barriers, more women than ever are becoming entrepreneurs. A 2019 report by American Express found that the number of women-owned startups rose by 21% over a span of five years, and they represented 42% of all American companies.

More from Rolling Stone

That study, which was based on U.S. Census Bureau data, also found that those companies employed 9.4 million workers while bringing in $1.9 trillion in revenue. There’s no better time to harness your spending power then by supporting woman-owned and operated brands, including small businesses that have been hit disproportionally hard in the past few years.

So if you’re looking to throw your support behind more female-founded companies, we’ve rounded some of our favorites to shop this month and beyond. There are tons of ways you can celebrate consciously, but top online retailers and brands aren’t just offering up deals and sales — they’re donating money to female-centered charities from each purchase, or just throughout the month. Check out just a handful of the best female-owned brands below, from organic food delivery services to clean grooming lines and more.
