ABOUT US
Women's Sourcebook originated as part of V Magazine for Women, a free print magazine for women of Central Virginia, which began publication in 2004. V published the first print version of the Sourcebook in 2009, then again in 2011. Although still proudly associated with V, the Women's Sourcebook now lives here at womenssourcebook.com.
Both V and Women's Sourcebook continue to celebrate women and attract readers throughout Virginia and beyond.
