As a tribute to International Women's Day, Globes asked leading female entrepreneurs in Israel to share experiences and insights with our readers. Nurit Berman of Emda: "It is the courage to venture into the unknown that saved me. The courage to come to terms with the real difficulty I had growing within a traditional organizational structure, and therefore dare to start a company in which I would be able to realize what I came to know about myself – all these led me to the profound business and professional insight that He is blessed for having made me a woman".
