I’m CV Harquail, Feminist Business Pioneer
I created the Feminist Business Model Canvas™ and wrote the first book to connect business and feminism, Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society.
I’m a scholar of both business and feminism, an experienced teacher, facilitator and mentor, a lifelong feminist activist, and an entrepreneur. I build business tools you can actually use, publish clear explanations of how to practice feminism in business, and coach entrepreneurs who want their businesses to change the world.
Informed by decades of practice, research, innovation, and leadership in the emerging field of Feminist Business, my work belongs in conversations on both feminist theory and business practice. That’s why it’s different from everything else you’ve been offered.

THE BOOK
Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society.
All business is political. All business is values-led. This is the book that makes the case, and shows what it means to be deliberate about the values you build into your work.
The foundational text for Feminist Business, it answers a question nobody had asked before: what do feminism and business have to offer each other?
THE NEWSLETTER
