'What a great book! Two eminent researchers on women's
entrepreneurship, Patti Greene and Candy Brush, have assembled a
wonderful group of well-known and upcoming scholars, each of them
adding novel insights to the puzzle of ''female entrepreneurial
identity''. The book covers a wide array of interesting
identity-related themes and presents evidence from countries and
contexts which are much less studied. This is a must-read for those
of us who want to understand and study entrepreneurial identity
from a gender perspective, and also for those supporting women
entrepreneurs.' - Friederike Welter, Institut fur
Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn and University of Siegen, Germany

in this highly recommended volume, successfully illuminate
important aspects and signposts questions to continue this vital
discourse.' - Anne de Bruin, Massey University, New Zealand Elgar
