A chapter in Women's Entrepreneurship in Europe, 2018, pp 3-13 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Women entrepreneurs currently enjoy their ascent as one of the fastest growing entrepreneurial populations worldwide. Nevertheless, they differ in both practice and in research from what is seen as “the norm.” This introductory chapter aims to outline previous research facets of women’s entrepreneurship by briefly mapping the status of the scientific field. In doing so, we lay the groundwork for presenting the scopes and foci of the articles in this volume which investigate different facets of women’s entrepreneurship across Europe. Fostering women’s entrepreneurship simultaneously implies including it in academic teaching. So in the second part of this introduction, we briefly talk about case studies as effective tools for teaching women’s entrepreneurship. We conclude by introducing the cases provided in this volume.
