abstract
Female entrepreneurship is gaining attention and importance in light of the evidence of the importance of new business creation for economic growth and development. Entrepreneurs are responsible for shaping the economy and they help in creation of new wealth and new jobs by inventing new products, process and services. Women entrepreneurship is based on women participation in equity and employment of a business enterprise. Women who innovate, initiate or adopt business actively are called women entrepreneurs. Behind the most significant problems of the world-poverty and starvation, wars, environmental pollution, and climate change, there are goals characteristic of patriarchal society: the extension of power, the acquisition of resources even using violence. One of the main tools of acquiring economic and political advantages is to maintain the subjection of women. Due to their biology, they are exposed to harassment and violence in times of peace and war alike. Their core necessity is their own security and the safety of their children, in order to achieve that, they endeavour to develop a behavior, an appearance, a life path, a way of life supported by the patriarchate- especially if they have no pecuniary room for maneuver. The investment of women with economic power, their entrepreneurship activity strengthen their autonomy and influence in the personal and economic scope, moreover, even taken in the political sense, and, at the same time, the prevailing of values that go beyond the patriarchal set of values: the welfare of children, the elderly, the sick and other persons exposed, preserving environment and safety. Goal of the paper is to raise awareness as to the importance of female entrepreneurship, the impediments lying ahead of their progress, to set forth the conditions of their development. In this paper, an attempt has also been made to study the opportunities and challenges related with entrepreneurship that the woman of our country faces in the present times.
