The article presents, from a comparative point of view, the entrepreneurial strategies of immigrant women from Dominican Republic in Madrid, and from Argentina and Venezuela in Galicia. The article focuses on the main variables that improve or not the entrepreneurial strategy: the family situation and the type of migration (married women, women heads of households, single women without economic charges); the social and community networks; the presence of "ethnic enclaves", the entrepreneurial experience in the country of origin the family socialisation in self-employment and the culture of origin. The articulation of this variables will determine the different entrepreneurial social mobility strategies; entrepreneurship as a refuge strategy, entrepreneurship as a professional continuity strategy and entrepreneurship as a family social mobility strategy.
