Female immigrant global entrepreneurship: from invisibility to empowerment?
Female immigrant global entrepreneurship: from invisibility to empowerment?
This chapter reviews key themes in debates on female immigrant entrepreneurship from a global perspective. We focus on the (i) invisibility of gender in the main theoretical approaches to explain ethnic or immigrant entrepreneurship, (ii) the evolution of the female immigrant entrepreneurship sub-field since the mid eighties up to the present, (iii) how the role of women in the immigrant enterprise has been conceptualised; (iv) approaches to female immigrant entrepreneurship from the global South, (v) and new directions for future research.
