Chinese women in Canada have long suffered from invisibility in
academic research and misrepresentation in society; and more
specifically, innovative research on Chinese women entrepreneurs as
a unique group is virtually non-existent. To fill this gap, this
study attempts to bring a group of Hong Kong Chinese immigrant
women entrepreneurs to the centre of analysis by exploring the
complexity and diversity of their entrepreneurial experiences in
terms of the intersection of class, race, ethnicity, gender, and
migration. Drawing from their personal narratives, this study
offers a comprehensive understanding of these women's projects by
detailing the processes from immigration to business start-ups and
the operation of these businesses. This analysis documents how
these women's projects are rooted in history and attests to the
contradictory and diverse impact of racialization, ethnicization,
gendering, and class- ification on these women's entrepreneurial
pursuits. Taking a provocative approach, this research represents a
much needed contribution to entrepreneurship and adds to the
literature on race/ethnic relations and women's studies.
