Abstract

Women entrepreneurs represent a research phenomenon that has increased its importance over the last years. This study contributes to understand the role of women entrepreneurs in developing countries. In particular, we study the factors that influence the entrepreneurial activity of women in Mexico, identifying the characteristics both from the business and the entrepreneur, along with the barriers and impact of her entrepreneurial activity. Three case studies are analyzed from Tamaulipas, Mexico. The main finding of this study is that the context in which the women entrepreneur is immersed is essential to interpret her activity, being age an important factor influencing the perception of the entrepreneurial activity.
