Behind every great magazine are great women…is that too bold to say? Well, I guess so but why not be a bit over the top? I would like to introduce some of these great women that make up What Women Want…Magazine. They have researched, investigated, asked, exposed, revealed and most of all invested lots of passion and energy into their writings. I thank you all for loving what you do ‘coz it shows! Keep it up, Ladies!
