“…Of the many challenges facing entrepreneurs, fear of failure (Cacciotti and Hayton, 2015) or starting a business permeates entrepreneurial activities and is exacerbated by political and economic uncertainties (Camargo et al, 2018). Fear is complex because of the emotions within it and can arise out of the obstacles women entrepreneurs face (Gimenez et al, 2017) and may be invisible to others (Camargo et al, 2018).…”

“…But the studies on women's entrepreneurship only date back to the early 2000s (Gomes et al, 2014;Krakauer et al, 2018, p.362;Miranda et al, 2017). These studies from Brazil include, fear of entrepreneurial failure (Camargo et al, 2018;Koellinger et al, 2013;Noguera et al, 2013;Wagner;, gender perspectives in entrepreneurship (Arroyo et al, 2016), identity of women entrepreneurs (Ferriera and Noguiera, 2013), and others focusing on Brazilian social, political and economic contexts (Cacciotti and Hayton, 2015;Cardon, et al, 2012).

As mulheres empreendedoras são definidas como mulheres inovadoras, que, ao dar início a uma atividade empresarial são desafiadas a demonstrarem suas competências ao lidar com vários obstáculos. Diante disso, a questão norteadora do artigo é: quais tipos de características e competências as mulheres empreendedoras devem possuir para manter seu empreendimento em meio às dificuldades? O objetivo é identificar os principais desafios enfrentados por essas mulheres empreendedoras, assim como, suas características e competências. Para isso, a metodologia escolhida para o estudo foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza qualitativa e fins explicativos, que permitiu analisar e deduzir os documentos de forma crítica, de modo que pudessem ser justificados ou explicados objetivamente dentro do assunto abordado. Como resultado, pode-se concluir que as mulheres empreendedoras são inovadoras, e as competências que lhes auxiliam no enfrentamento dos desafios do empreendimento estão relacionadas à habilidade natural do cérebro feminino em desenvolver multitarefas. Já com relação aos maiores desafios pode ser observado a discriminação, a necessidade de dupla jornada, e conciliar o empreendimento a realidade familiar.
