owned a toy store outside
her home for many years,
in 1977 began interviewing
women who ran businesses
from their homes.
Over three years they in-
terviewed 98 women with a
wide variety of ages and
backgrounds, then selected
the stories of 40 of those
women for inclusion in their
recently published book,
"The New Entrepreneurs.
“We found the women

Ms. Tepper does have a
