Entrepreneurship in context has been hailed as the third wave in entrepreneurship research, emphasizing the pivotal role of specific socio-economic, political, market, and institutional contexts in fostering, enabling, and enacting entrepreneurial activity and behaviors. These contexts profoundly shape the everyday experiences of entrepreneurs.

This book takes a groundbreaking approach by recognizing that the concept of context extends beyond the realm of economies and situations that deviate from the perceived norm of Western developed nations. It advocates for a more critical appraisal of how context is positioned within current theorizing around gender and entrepreneurial behaviors. By doing so, it seeks to advance the debate while acknowledging the existence of competing and contrasting contextual influences that demand greater recognition.

This book holds the potential to unveil credible and robust approaches to further examining contextualization and women entrepreneurship, offering fresh insights that push the boundaries of knowledge. By delving into and analyzing how contextual influences shape womens entrepreneurship, this book challenges the notion that women entrepreneurship remains uniform across the globe. It will be of immense value to researchers, academics, and students with a keen interest in entrepreneurship, political economy, economics, and public policy.
