It is no secret that women have long been underrepresented<\/a> in the executive managerial ranks of large, innovative companies. In fact, according to AmericanProgress.org<\/a>, while women make up 52 percent of all professional level jobs, only 14.6 percent of executive positions are held by women. Dive deeper into the list of Fortune 500 CEOs, and you will find a paltry 4.6 percent of the positions held by females.<\/p>\n

This management gender gap is improving<\/a>, but it still has a long — very long — way to go. Many companies, especially in the technology field<\/a>, are taking an active role in closing this gap by providing opportunities for and encourage young women to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math education)\u00a0and leadership roles at a very young age.\u00a0This approach, however, requires\u00a0a generation to affect change.<\/p>\n

Many ambitious women, seeing the slow change in the gender-cap trend,\u00a0are taking matters into their own hands — by starting and leading their own companies. Five women in general, all under the age of 35, have forged their way to entrepreneurial success, and while the paths they traveled were\u00a0different, the lessons for other aspiring women are universal.<\/p>\n

Julie Fredrickson<\/strong>, co-founder and CEO of Stowaway Cosmetics<\/a>, launched her beauty company in 2015 and is aiming to\u00a0disrupt the $60 billion dollar beauty industry<\/a> by developing a cosmetic brand “made around a woman\u2019s life, not the other way around.” The company\u2019s innovative leaders has already attracted $1.5 million in investment capital —\u00a0no small feat\u00a0in a highly competitive beauty-product industry.<\/p>\n

Carrie Hammer<\/strong>, founder and CEO of CarrieHammer<\/a>\u00a0Clothing and\u00a0Apparel, is aiming to disrupt the professional woman’s\u00a0fashion industry by challenging our perceptions and expectations of female models. This past year, her runway models featured real executive women of all different sizes and abilities. In 2015, Hammer was named as one of Forbes 30 Under 30 as well as one of 15 Women Entrepreneurs to Watch at Entrepreneur.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
