The literature in female entrepreneurship has witnessed significant development in the last 30 years, with the research emphasis shifting from purely descriptive explorations towards a clear effort to embed research within highly informed conceptual frameworks.
With contributions from leading and emerging researchers, TheRoutledge Companion to Global Female Entrepreneurship brings together the latest international research, concepts and thinking in the area. With a strong international dimension, this book will facilitate comparative discussion and analysis on all aspects of female entrepreneurship, including start-ups, socio-economic influences, entrepreneurial capital and minority entrepreneurship.
Reflecting the subject’s growing importance for researchers, academics and policy makers as well as those involved in supporting women’s entrepreneurship through training programmes, networks, consultancy or the provision of venture capital, TheRoutledge Companion to Global Female Entrepreneurship will be an invaluable reference resource.
This timely and expertly organised compendium is a celebration of the growing understanding on the significance and diverse global practice of female entrepreneurship. An impressive range of contributions from top scholars confirms gender is integral to this understanding, provides valuable insights on strengthening the ecosystem to support women’s entrepreneurship and takes into account new demographic contexts and the complexities of female enterprise.

While the area of women’s entrepreneurship has received an increased amount of attention over the past few years, the types of questions asked and the way in which answers are pursued has not yet led to a coherent sense of understanding. In The Routledge Companion to Global Female Entrepreneurship, Henry, Nelson and Lewis guide us through a collection of works that together provide the necessary bridge between gender theories and entrepreneurship, thereby inviting more of us into the discussion with potential impact for theory, practice and policy.
