About the Author

Quotabelle creates smart, distinctive products designed to introduce female role models to the world, in print and online.

The company is solving a quote supply problem uncovered through research—that less than 15% of the millions of quotes shared every day are by women and girls. Most are unsourced; many are misattributed. The words of entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, inventors, adventurers, artists and athletes are often missing.

The Quotabelle team is reimagining how ideas are discovered and shared. They're building the most modern collection of sourced quotes by women and girls, and ensuring that every quote leads to a true story to inspire today's dreamers and doers.
