Book Description
While women entrepreneurs have significantly contributed to the U.S. economy, their enterprises have been depicted as being smaller, having less profits, concentrating in low-profit sectors, and generating fewer jobs than their male counterparts Minniti & Naude Thus, the portrayal of women and their ventures as disadvantage is prevalent in the women entrepreneurship literature and there is a need for research that presents a perspective that does not perpetuate this discourse. The purpose of this qualitative portraiture study is to understand the essence of U.S.-based, growth-oriented women entrepreneurs' experiences in growing their businesses by centering women's ways of knowing in the male normative environment of entrepreneurship. The study explores the following research question with two sub questions: How do growth-oriented women entrepreneurs understand their experiences in growing their organizations within a male-normative environment of entrepreneurship?
