'For the first time, the idea of dynamic interaction between women's entrepreneurship and socio-cultural context is considered from the perspectives of family roles and self-determination across a variety of countries. Not only does this volume highlight how culture affects women’s entrepreneurship, but also it explores how women’s entrepreneurship influences cultural context. A well edited and interesting collection of chapters!'

'My colleagues Ulrike Guelich, Amanda Bullough, Tatiana Manolova and Leon Schjoedt, leading scholars on women entrepreneurship topics, edit this volume that provides rich content about the relevance of the socio-cultural dynamics that shape any kind of entrepreneurial endeavor led by women. With a collection of conceptual and empirical perspectives from cases around the world, this book enhances and brings to life the research agenda for women in entrepreneurship.'

- José Ernesto Amorós, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico,

'This volume takes an incisive step forward in building a generalizable theory on women's entrepreneurship and culture. It extends growing scholarship on women's entrepreneurship in developed economies, with understanding of the impact of socio-cultural norms on women entrepreneurs in emerging and developing countries and regions including Bangladesh, China, India, Ethiopia, South Africa and the MENA region, as well as provides 20-country comparative analysis. A must-read for anyone including policymakers interested in female entrepreneurship and others with wider interest in entrepreneurship, self-determination and economic development.'
