Distributed in 8 counties and three states (Pennsylvania, South Jersey and Delaware), The Women's Yellow Pages is the directory that more than 100,000 people turn to for resources and information every day.
Who publishes the Women’s Yellow Pages? Women! The driving force behind the Women’s Yellow Pages is Ellen Fisher. She is the founder and publisher of the directory and a well-known, well-respected business woman. Twenty years ago Ellen saw what very few people could see— women-owned businesses would become a powerful economic force of the future. When the first edition of the Women's Yellow Pages hit the street, Ellen was met with everything from polite laughter to outright disbelief. Today, the Women's Yellow Pages is the largest and most widely read directory of women-owned businesses in the tri-state area. It has grown from a local telephone directory to an international business network connecting women to each other and to the world. The Women's Regional Publications of America recognized Ellen for her dedication and achievement by presenting her with the "Lifetime Advocate for Women’s Business" award. Recently, Ellen was recognized as one of PA's 2003 Best 50 Women in Business.
The real question is, "Why Not?". The Women's Yellow Pages is the fastest and easiest way to put you in touch with owners and decision makers in every business and every community in the Delaware Valley. In the United States women-owned businesses generate more than $2.38 trillion a year in revenue. In Pennsylvania alone, they generate more than 100 billion dollars. Women own 8 million businesses in the United States and the number is growing every year. Who gets the Women's Yellow Pages?
