"Routledge Focus"--Cover.

Women's social entrepreneurship has been proved to alleviate poverty and in parallel to promote gender equality. This book introduces a useful analysis of the field, investigating the emerging phenomenon of women's social entrepreneurship from both a conceptual and empirical perspective. The book is based on the premise that how gender is articulated within the entrepreneurial debate has to acknowledge context. Seven case studies are presented and, through them, the importance of women's social entrepreneurship for job creation is revealed. A complemented layout of activities is also provided to reinforce the business spirit of women's social entrepreneurship. Finally, the book provides suggestions and educational programmatical alterations for policy makers, which are needed to be invoked for the endorsement of women's social entrepreneurship. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students who study social entrepreneurship, to social entrepreneurship scholars and to the international academic library market in particular.
