Rezensionen

This timely and expertly organised compendium is a celebration of the growing understanding on the significance and diverse global practice of female entrepreneurship. An impressive range of contributions from top scholars confirms gender is integral to this understanding, provides valuable insights on strengthening the ecosystem to support women's entrepreneurship and takes into account new demographic contexts and the complexities of female enterprise.

Anne de Bruin, Professor, Massey University, New Zealand

While the area of women's entrepreneurship has received an increased amount of attention over the past few years, the types of questions asked and the way in which answers are pursued has not yet led to a coherent sense of understanding. In The Routledge Companion to Global Female Entrepreneurship, Henry, Nelson and Lewis guide us through a collection of works that together provide the necessary bridge between gender theories and entrepreneurship, thereby inviting more of us into the discussion with potential impact for theory, practice and policy.
