Methodology: To determine the list of Women-owned businesses to watch, our data science team started by identifying businesses that have self-identified with the Women-owned attribute on Yelp in food, beauty or home categories. From the candidate businesses in each category, we limited the list to three businesses per state, and narrowed it down by weighing a variety of factors, including national online presence, average rating and review counts. Businesses featured are listed alphabetically.
