Welcome to The San Francisco Bay Area Women’s Journal!

Debbie Josendale

Hi, my name is Debbie Josendale and as the publisher of the SF Bay Area Woman’s Journal Information Network;  I’d like to thank-you for stopping by!   

Did you know that the very first “Woman’s Journal” was founded in 1870?  Published from 1870-1931, the editorial focus was on woman’s rights.   

Suffice to say…a lot has changed since then!  

The SF Bay Area Woman’s Journal is an online information network, for and about SF Bay Area Women. Our mission is to Connect women to great local resources, inspire women to Create success on their terms, and then Celebrate your accomplishments!  

Today women spend over $5 Trillion annually, earn over $1 Trillion, own 46% of all U.S. Small Business’s, that  generate $2.5 trillion in sales and employed 19.1 million people nationwide! And  they influence over 80% of all consumer-purchasing decisions making women today’s most influential consumer market!   

 Along with those changes, have come massive changes in the way that women shop, and buy products and services!  It all starts with a “click”…over 73% of all women prefer to find products and services using the internet vs. having ads sent to them!    

Marti Barletta, the leading expert in Marketing to Women says:  

“…women seek more information and investigate more options….”
