all types of
risks involved in an enterprise,
who organizes the various
inputs or factors of production
and who innovates news
ideas, concepts, strategies and
methodology in business from
time to time is known as
Entrepreneur.

3. Women’s equality is defined by women’s economic empowerment.
And the ultimate empowerment is through entrepreneurship.
Women-owned businesses are the fastest growing
force in the world’s economy.

4. As, an example,
prompting
president Clinton
to call women
business owners
“the new face of
U.S economy.”
When women
thrive, their
families thrive &
the nation thrives.

5. DESCRIPTION
Entrepreneurship amongst
women has been a recent
concern. Women have
become aware of their
existence, their rights & their
work situation.

6. Any understanding of Indian women, of their identity,
and especially of their role taking & breaking new paths,
will be incomplete without a walk down the corridors of
Indian history where women have paused, lived &
internalized various role models.
Some have taken entrepreneurship roles where
some have opted for employments,
some in entertainment field & some for
leadership roles while millions of others have
taken the role of ideal stereotyped social roles.

7. Motivation is a close cousin to
strife.
The entrepreneurial spirit is
commonly about overcoming
obstacles.
Women’s stories are especially
intriguing because the
obstacles can be many &
profound.
Women entrepreneurs often
lack capital, procurement
opportunities, training,
mentors, & respect. What they
don’t lack is will.

8. In some countries, women are less welcome in social networks which excludes
them from opportunities which limits their access to often critical information.
As, a result, social structures & the way that women socialize influence the
human & social capital endowments with which they start their businesses.
Despite these & countless other barriers, women are starting businesses world
wide in record numbers. They are improving their lives, those of their families,
and the conditions of their communities.
Recognizing their primary motivations for starting businesses allows us to better
understand the global rise of female entrepreneurs .
Clearly, no single factor motivates a woman to build her own company. Her
reasons depend upon several personal and external circumstances, both positive
and negative.

9. The educated women
do not want to limit
their lives in the four
walls of the house.
They demand equal
respect from the
Society.
However, Indian
women have to go a
long way to achieve
equal rights and
position because
traditions are deep
rooted in Indian
society.
Despite all the social
hurdles, many
women have become
successful in their
works.
These successful
women have made
name & wealth for
themselves with their
hard work, diligence,
competence and will
power

18. • Here’s a lovely quote from Marianne Williamson, author
of A Woman’s Worth. Read it a few times to truly
appreciate all that she says.
• “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It
is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We
ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You
are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the
world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We
are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not
just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our
own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our
own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
