Welcome to our celebration of women with female-themed links of interest from around the web!

Still today is a time to celebrate women’s empowerment and Women’s Wear Daily rounds up a listing of how various fashion and beauty brands are doing just that.
Finally, do your eyes glaze over when it comes to reading the fine print?

Whether it’s vacation insurance or your life insurance policy, the devil’s in the details. Make sure you’re not missing out.
