Abstract :

Identifying the contradictions between the predominant perspective of research literature and the reality of women entrepreneurs, this paper reviews the work on women entrepreneurship that challenge and broaden our perspectives. This review is structured as follows – after offering an historical overview of the literature and explaining how the review was undertaken, I synthesize the findings under the broad themes of individual characteristics and motivations, human capital, social capital and networking, women entrepreneurship and growth, access to finance, feminist lens and critical theory. I follow it up with a discussion on possible future directions for the area.

Keywords :
