Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of corporate governance, corporate values and glass ceiling on opportunities and obstacles that face the career progress of women as compared to that of men in the Lebanese society. Accordingly, the study aims to represent a profile of Lebanese business women and their business, to explore gender differences in entrepreneurial characteristics in Lebanon, to challenge gender stereotypes, to identify problems unique to Lebanese women in setting up and running their business, to establish factors that lead to higher levels of Women entrepreneurship in Lebanon to suggest policies that may enhance the national level of Women business activity in Lebanon, and to discuss how Lebanese women can stay competitive.
