focus on women as role models is good, but for traction I think you need to be local, have opportunities for user related content and local role model relevance. it could have a section or leg that is national or international in scope of aggregated content (which isn't the same thing as copied - heed the copyrights, please).

Great idea, Some tweaks and this would be AWESOME.
I would love to see your team writing content to help frame the context of what you are doing and weave all the curated content together.

- Like the example of magazines and lack of women role models in business as inspiration for creating this app
- Team: stronger introduction of team in the start. Don’t be shy
- Like the name and the concept of the app, well done
- App looks great
- How does the app filter for and highlight positive stories?
- App is very relevant to the importance of media needing to focus on women
- Filtering for a specific city or state is a great idea or a geolocator option which shows new closest to the user

I think it has potential, if this was on a local -city/state level it would be a lot more powerful then women will be actually able to connect with local leaders, highlight local success stories, would be amazing for event planners/ community organizers.
Women @the Frontier and The Nextwomen do this sort of thing on a high level now
