Abstract

Globalization has pushed the limits of success for women entrepreneurs. They are known as symbols of entrepreneurship not only at the national level but also at the world level. Today, women play a role as the main pillar of families and countries’ economy. This double responsibility requires them to maintain a delicate balance between family and professional commitments. Despite the many challenges, women entrepreneurs seek to realize their dreams with perseverance and creativity. By creating start-ups, they transform not only their personal lives, but also the lives and careers of others. Women entrepreneurs, who have been involved in household responsibilities and unpaid work for years, are now looking for economic independence. However, women’s entry into the male world of entrepreneurship faces serious obstacles, such as the hesitation of male investors and the cautious attitude of financial institutions. Gender is the biggest barrier to the success of women entrepreneurs.
