Abstract: The entrepreneurial potential of women remains not fully exploited and lags behind men?s ambition and capability in both business start-ups and self-employment. Nowadays it is imperative to enable women to fully participate in the economic activities of their communities. The paper argues about the need for encouraging a female hybrid entrepreneur role in emerging economies. It attempts to identify the perceived challenges of the female hybrid entrepreneur by analysing the propensity for entrepreneurship among full-time, part-time and self-employed females in eight Central and Eastern European countries. The entrepreneurship propensity is determined by taking into account four dimensions: entrepreneurial potential, self-employment desirability, self-employment feasibility, and comfort with recruiting customers.
