Full Description
Women entrepreneurs in the Global South are an important force for driving economic growth and social progress. Yet, traditional economic thinking often treats entrepreneurship as gender-neutral, viewing entrepreneurs as rational, self-reliant individuals removed from the realities of gender, class, age, or cultural background. This view overlooks the specific challenges women face and can limit their opportunities and contributions. This book reframes entrepreneurship as a pathway for inclusion and social transformation. It calls for a gender-responsive approach that acknowledges and addresses the unique barriers women encounter. The chapters explore a range of themes using qualitative methods and highlight how gender often intersects with other issues such as migration, violence, and inequality.
