Women entrepreneurs are a powerful force for economic growth and social change, but we still have many questions about how and why. Understanding Women's Entrepreneurship in a Gendered Context: Influences and Restraints expands the contextual focus of women's entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship research by providing insightful insights into the influences and restraints within various gendered contexts, including social, political, institutional, religious, patriarchal, cultural, family, and economic. This collection of studies encourages readers to think differently about theory, patriarchy, trade systems, adoption or transformation, and strategies to create inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems. The contributing authors demonstrate the importance of studying the contexts in which women's entrepreneurial activities are shaped and how female entrepreneurs modify these contexts.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and researchers interested in women's entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial ecosystems, gender hierarchy, and the transition to gender equality. It was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.
