Entrepreneurship is a feminine word
The myth
When the Athenian army defeated Persia in the great battle of Marathon, a soldier travelled more than 42 km to announce his great victory with the cry of "Nikke". This name, Nikke refers to the great Greek goddess of victory. She is represented with a winged shape and carrying a palm leaf or a laurel wreath. She presided over athletic competitions and military disputes. A symbol of female talent and a source of inspiration for all women who, with perseverance and effort, become victorious goddesses.
