The age-long phrase, ‘behind every successful man is a woman’ can never be overemphasised. While women have their various roles independently, towards the development of society, it is no doubt that some women go the extra mile to support their husbands’ dreams and help them in their success journeys.
More often than not, the focus has been put on some businessmen who have toiled and created success stories for themselves but not much is known about the women who may, in one way or the other, contributed to their stories.
