'A must read for all entrepreneurship scholars because it helps us
to understand and appreciate the real and many roles of women
entrepreneurs, their relevance and importance to societies across
the World, as well as the challenges and issues women entrepreneurs
can face. An exciting and interesting read which presents us with
critical questions for the future - thank you.' - Sarah Jack,
Lancaster University Management School, UK Taking a fresh look at
how performance is defined by examining the institutional power
structures and policies, eminent scholars herein explore ways to
overcome constrained performance and encourage women?s
entrepreneurial activities through a variety of methodological
approaches and geographical contexts. Significantly, this book adds
a critical perspective to defining ?success? and ?performance?,
shattering misconceptions of underperformance in women-owned
enterprises. The contributing authors raise questions on the
limiting concept of the ?entrepreneur? and have valuable insights
into policies to facilitate female entrepreneurs. Instead of taking
a one-sided and narrow approach with regards to understanding the
entrepreneurship performance phenomenon, this book argues that
future researchers should take a fresh look at business
performance, considering structural constraints, definitions of
success and other socio-political factors. Scholars in the fields
of entrepreneurship, gender studies, and institutional theory, as
well as those who have a general interest in critical research,
will benefit from this progressive step in entrepreneurship
research. Contributors include: R. Aidis, A. Akdeniz, H. Baiya, M.

Women entrepreneurs are indeed a formidable force of economic
growth and social change, though we still often question the "how"
and "why." For the readers who seek to understand the spectrum of
gender influences in the context of entrepreneurship, Understanding
Women’s Entrepreneurship in a Gendered Context: Influences and
Restraints widens the contextual focus of women’s
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship research by providing
powerful insights into the influences and restraints within a
diverse set of gendered contexts including social, political,
institutional, religious, patriarchal, cultural, family and
economic, in which female entrepreneurs around the world operate
their businesses. From recognition of a seventh-century
businesswoman in Mecca to the construction of a gendered scientific
Business Model Canvas, this collection of studies will inspire
readers to think differently about theory, patriarchy, trade
systems, adoption or transformation and strategies to create
inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems. In doing so, the contributing
authors demonstrate not only the importance of studying the
contexts in which women’s entrepreneurial activities are shaped,
but also how female entrepreneurs, through their endeavours, modify
these contexts. This book will be of great value to scholars,
students and researchers interested in women’s entrepreneurship,
entrepreneurial ecosystems, gender hierarchy and the transition to
gender equality. It was originally published as a special issue of
Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Contextual Embeddedness of Women's Entrepreneurship brings together
a range of research that provides powerful insights into the
influences and restraints within a diverse set of gendered contexts
including social, political, institutional, religious, patriarchal,
cultural, family, and economic, in which female entrepreneurs
around the world operate their businesses. In doing so, the
contributing authors demonstrate not only the importance of
studying the contexts in how they shape women's entrepreneurial
activities, but also how female entrepreneurs through their
endeavours modify these contexts. Collectively, the edited
collection's studies make a substantial contribution to the
contextual embeddedness of women's entrepreneurial activity,
provide numerous insights, and provoke fruitful directions for
future research on the important role of the contexts in which
women's entrepreneurial activities take place. This innovative and
wide-ranging research anthology seeks to reframe and redirect
research on gender and entrepreneurship and will appeal to all
those interested in learning more about female entrepreneurship.
