'The number of women entering small business ownership has increased significantly across the world in recent years. These women make a crucial contribution to the economic growth and
development of local, national and global economies. Yet, despite their increasing numbers, they have received comparatively little attention from the academic community.' 'This comprehensive
and coherent book redresses the balance and provides an up-to-date, theoretical review of this important area of study. A distinguished group of international contributors present the latest
work from the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada, India and Singapore, which explores practical initiatives and strategies related to the experiences of women entering small business
entrepreneurship.'--BOOK JACKET.
