Why are women entrepreneurs concentrated into certain occupational
and industrial sectors? Why are women entrepreneurs more likely to
be located in suburban areas than in city centres? Why do women's
businesses tend to remain smaller and less profitable than a
similar business owned by a man? This book seeks to address these
questions through a case study of women's entrepreneurship in
Worcester Massachusetts in the United States. The empirical
evidence provided in the book is drawn from women entrepreneurs via
interviews and questionnaires and also from interviews conducted
with those who provide resources (e.g. knowledge and money) to
those starting businesses. By paying particular attention to the
resources that are available to women entrepreneurs and the ways
that women engage with resource networks that are located in both
the suburban and urban parts of the city, the book argues that
gender is both an enabling and constraining mechanism in women's
entrepreneurship. Those interested in entrepreneurship, economic
development through entrepreneurship, and those who support women's
business start-ups should find this book useful.
