  • Abstract:
  • Women entrepreneurs encounter particular difficulties while launching and expanding their companies. This comprehensive assessment of the literature summarizes the most recent findings regarding the major obstacles that female entrepreneurs, particularly those in developing nations, face. The review identified five main themes of challenges: (1) financial, (2) socio-cultural, (3) educational and skills, (4) networking and marketing, and (5) political and legal. Developing countries were the primary context examined, and the majority of studies used qualitative methodologies. Socio-cultural barriers, such as gender role expectations and discrimination, were found to be a significant hurdle for many women entrepreneurs. Absence of access to finance, business networks, and marketing support also posed major challenges. Educational and skills gaps, as well as unfavorable political and legal environments, further compounded the difficulties faced by women in entrepreneurship. This paper lays the groundwork for further investigation and emphasizes the need for focused policies and initiatives to tackle the particular difficulties faced by female entrepreneurs, especially in developing nations.
