Social entrepreneurs are individuals who tackle social issues and create solutions to problems in society. Just as business entrepreneurs create new industries, social entrepreneurs develop new approaches to address social problems. Two examples of early social entrepreneurs are Susan B. Anthony and Florence Nightingale. Susan B. Anthony fought for women's suffrage in the United States, which led to women gaining the right to vote. Florence Nightingale established the first nursing school and helped professionalize nursing despite facing societal resistance as a female in her field.
