Women and Entrepreneurship : Contemporary Classics

"Women and Entrepreneurship" is a careful selection of the most significant previously published material, which has been influential in shaping the field of women's entrepreneurship.

The volume presents early works, which laid the foundations first asking whether women entrepreneurs were different, exploring issues about women entrepreneurs and their businesses and delving into more specific questions on individual, organizational, and environmental matters.

An organizing framework connects the works from theory to the conceptual categories of human capital, including personal cognition and goals, social capital, financial capital, strategic choice, performance, outcomes and environment.
