“…Our survey has found that 'personal saving' is the number one funding source followed by 'family and friends', whilst 'bank loan' and 'VC/PE' are least considered as startup funding (Table 4). This is consistent with most research and literature review findings that women tend to use personal savings or borrow from family and friends instead of seeking a formal external financial source to startup a business (Gomes et al, 2014;Lee & Marvel, 2014;Li, Zhang, & Yang, 2010). This is possibly because women face more difficulties in accessing external financing or they simply do not seek it, they are more reluctant to take risks, or prefer to use less capital for the startup (Lee & Marvel, 2014;Gomes et al, 2014;Fernandes & Mota-Ribeiro, 2017).…”

“…Most of the businesses of our survey respondents were in professional and personal services (over 41%) and then followed by the healthcare (16.7%) and retail (8.3%) sectors. Scholars have come up with a variety of arguments to explain this phenomenon, namely education, risk-averseness and life quality or the preference to balance family and business (Lee & Marvel, 2014;Gomes, Santana, Araújo, & Fontes-Martins, 2014). Although the issue requires further study, it does appear that these characteristics are inherent to women entrepreneurs no matter where they are.…”

A B S T R A C T Objective:The objective of this article is to identify factors that drive and conditions that affect foreign women entrepreneurs in China. The emphasis is on the commonalities and differences between these women and women entrepreneurs in Western developed countries as reflected in the literature. Research Design & Methods:The study was designed to include both qualitative and quantitative data to allow better understanding of the topic. Interviews with foreign women entrepreneurs were first done to gain practical field insights which were then used with the information from the literature to develop the questionnaire for the survey for quantitative data. Findings: The findings from the interviews and the survey from a very small sample show the key differences lie in internal factors like motivation and family-business orientation, but there are also similarities in terms of external characteristics, such as business nature, business size, financing source, etc. between foreign female entrepreneurs in China and those represented in studies. And the key challenges and learning reported by foreign female entrepreneurs in China are both related to culture.

“…During this period, at least quantitatively, research on female entrepreneurship grew and began to demonstrate the patterns found. This increase occurred, at least in theory, by the growth of female participation in the labor market, not only as an employee but also as an employer and owner of their own business (GOMES et al, 2014). Gomes et al (2014) pointed out that in the 80's:…”

“…However, these differences appeared as a result of a socialization process inherent to the changing societal standards, which was evidenced in different cultural contexts, and in some societies, women obtained more rights than in others. However, it is also relevant to clarify that feminism brought to light the debate on the potentiality of female entrepreneurship, but by itself, it does not justify it (GOMES et al, 2014).…”

The current paper presents reflections on female entrepreneurship through a history of its development, characteristics, gender dichotomy, we also discuss the insertion of women in the business sector in different regional, cultural, economic, and social contexts. The article evaluates an evolution of entrepreneurship since colonial times, and describes it over the last decades, addressing barriers, dynamic potential, possibilities, challenges, and trends. As a methodological approach, we verified the academic literature through database searches, such as Capes, SPELL, EBSCO HOST, and Google Scholar. The abundance of recent studies carried out in different countries made it possible to explain the subject comprehensively. It is clear from the study that since ancient times, women fought for their spaces with many achievements. However, much more remains to be discussed and rethought to value, emerge, and support the development and growth of female entrepreneurship, as In this field remain open challenges to overcome. Both evolution and trends for female entrepreneurship are related to the cultural dimensions of institutional collectivism, gender egalitarianism, social awareness, and women's empowerment, as they shift through family structures and traditions. As an academic contribution this study presents the main context factors and characteristics of female entrepreneurship, discussed in the literature. In practice, the article helps to explain to entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs about the challenges that can be overcome through training and qualification, but also presents the barriers imposed by the market that depend on collective actions and government policies, which propose to discuss the culture and gender bias.

“…Even with the significant increase in studies on female entrepreneurship, including Brazilian production on the subject, those studies were stuck to an approach of competency analysis and the characteristics present in the way of managing women, often limiting to present a profile of the entrepreneurial woman (Gomes, Santana, Araújo, & Martins, 2014). Thus, in the face of the growth of female entrepreneurship, academic literature has paid little attention to the social and cultural factors that are intrinsic to the family environment and that lead to a career change for women (Røsen, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the stimuli that lead women to leave formal jobs and seek self-employment. originality/value: Changes in the social patterns and lifestyle of the population have made research aimed at career and gender gain relevance. There is, however, a lack of research on women who have left their organizations and the main stimuli of this movement, exogenously and endogenously driven, which are relevant as result of social and cultural factors intrinsic to the family environment that leads to a career change. design/methodology/approach: The qualitative methodology of narrative analysis was used, adequate to the examination of the phenomenon in question. Findings:The following stimuli were highlighted: self-fulfillment and search for flexibility; professional achievement; personal challenges; high level of career ambition; and search for a feminine identity. The results diverged in relation to the existing literature, mainly focused on exogenous factors. Although mentioning difficulties in reconciling work with domestic activities, the professionals under study, previously occupying formal positions in companies, did not perceive or did not undergo any type of limitation at work, such as the phenomenon of glass ceiling, difficulties in working on the masculinized leadership model, family pressures, and fear of misuse of sexuality. Entrepreneurship emerged mainly as a career option as a form of personal self-actualization and not through imposition arising from social, family or labor difficulties.
