Women’s Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century is the fourth in the series of books emanating from the Diana International Research Network. The volume takes a multi-dimensional approach to coalesce a series of chapters around the central theme: gender and entrepreneurship today and in the future. The chapters span a diverse range of countries, methodologies, and levels of analysis – however, they all seek to contribute to an advancing understanding of women and their engagement with entrepreneurial endeavours.

‘The broad international scope of both the theoretical discussions and case studies provides the ideal opportunity to explore how different formal policies and less explicit influences impact women. Much credit must go to the editors for the rich conceptual framework that makes this volume succeed both as a resource compiling and interpreting global data and as a source of theory situating the data in a broad socio-cultural context. . . . This book will be a welcome addition to the shelves of academic scholars and policy professionals. Those interested in fostering women's entrepreneurship will benefit from paying attention to the practical advice that emerges.’

‘This book will interest current and prospective women entrepreneurs who seek to obtain funding and support to grow their businesses. The authors of 14 essays address such issues and gender differences in management style, innovation, networking behaviors, spousal support, attitudes towards growth, and ability to access funds. A valuable book for graduate business students as well as researchers, faculty, and practitioners in entrepreneurship.’
