Abstract: This paper reviews how the field of women?s entrepreneurship has developed over the past decade and highlights key ?shake-up? research contributions. The author asks: What are the scholarly themes (and which scholars have identified them) that have made the most impact by ?shaking up? the status quo in women?s entrepreneurship research? The paper contributes to current academic knowledge by highlighting the variety of contexts in which women?s entrepreneurship occurs; showing how contexts influence entrepreneurial efforts; and suggesting that the next generation of scholars must ensure ?shake-up? efforts continue. For practitioners, the paper highlights the value of family and networking in women?s entrepreneurship; calls on policy makers and support bodies to acknowledge the different conditions in which women entrepreneurs operate; and questions whether having more women entrepreneurs is actually a positive development.
