Why are women entrepreneurs concentrated into
certain occupational and industrial sectors? Why
are women entrepreneurs more likely to be located in
suburban areas than in city centres? Why do women's
businesses tend to remain smaller and less
profitable than a similar business owned by a man?
This book seeks to address these questions through a
case study of women's entrepreneurship in Worcester
Massachusetts in the United States. The empirical
evidence provided in the book is drawn from women
entrepreneurs via interviews and questionnaires and
also from interviews conducted with those who
provide resources (e.g. knowledge and money) to
those starting businesses. By paying particular
attention to the resources that are available to
women entrepreneurs and the ways that women engage
with resource networks that are located in both the
suburban and urban parts of the city, the book
argues that gender is both an enabling and
constraining mechanism in women's entrepreneurship.
Those interested in entrepreneurship, economic
development through entrepreneurship, and those who
support women's business start-ups should find this
book useful.
