"Contextual Embeddedness of Womens 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 womens entrepreneurial activities, but also how female entrepreneurs through their endeavours modify these contexts. Collectively, the edited collections studies make a substantial contribution to the contextual embeddedness of womens entrepreneurial activity, provide numerous insights, and provoke fruitful directions for future research on the important role of the contexts in which womens 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.
