In honor of Women’s History Month, we have been highlighting a female business journalist every day this month on Twitter that you should definitely know and whose reporting you need to read! Here is a wrap-up of the amazing journalists we have shared throughout the month, with a few added special mentions at the end, because there are too many talented female business journalists to fit into only 31 days.
