"Drawing on the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a frame of reference, this new edition of Female Entrepreneurship - Women's Entrepreneurship, continues to challenge contemporary assumptions regarding who or what is an entrepreneur. It draws upon relevant literature and research to enable research-led teaching delivery and provides students with a comprehensive understanding of women's entrepreneurship and a solid foundation from which they can pursue further studies. Informative but concise, Women's Entrepreneurship covers key concepts, issues, themes and approaches and provides useful suggested topics for debate. Updates include a revised chapter on Emerging Technologies and Women's Entrepreneurship, which explores digital entrepreneurship and cyberfeminism. Contextualization of Women's Entrepreneurship acknowledges the broader contextual influences on women's entrepreneurship. Finally, two new chapters have been added looking at The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Women's Entrepreneurship Policy. International case studies explore the socio-economic context for women's entrepreneurship in regional, national and international economies. Pedagogy to aid learning is incorporated throughout, including Learning Objectives, boxes to highlight key points, Summaries and Discussion Points, whilst signposts flag relevant podcasts, Ted Talks and online recommended reading. This book is important supplementary reading on entrepreneurship, small business management and women's and gender studies courses - it will prove particularly useful to women moving towards starting their own business as well as postgraduate students researching the topic for the first time"--

"Entrepreneurship in context has been described as the third wave in entrepreneurship research. Accordingly, specific socio-economic, political, market and institutional contexts are key to fostering, enabling and enacting entrepreneurial activity and behaviours. These contexts shape everyday entrepreneurship experiences. This book is based on the premise that how gender is articulated within the entrepreneurial debate has to acknowledge context. However, context is not a construct which only applies to those economies and situations which differ from the presumed norm of Western developed nations. Adopting a more critical appraisal of how context is positioned within current theorising around gender and entrepreneurial behaviours offers potential to progress debate whilst acknowledging that competing and contrasting contextual influences require clearer recognition. This book therefore has the potential to unearth credible and robust approaches to further examining contextualisation and women entrepreneurship that advances new insights. By exploring and examining how contextual influences shape women's entrepreneurship, this book challenges the assumption that women entrepreneurship is the same throughout the world. It will be of value to researchers, academics, and students with an interest in entrepreneurship, political economy, economics, and public policy"--
