Abstract: Although entrepreneurship as an area of research has attracted a great deal of scholarly attention in recent decades, most of the available studies relate to the entrepreneurial endeavours of men. Consequently, our under standing of the urges and aspirations of women promoters of business ventures is extremely limited. This paper, based on what the author regards as a pilot study centred around a major city in India, concludes that the factors impinging on the entrepreneurial manifestation of women are no different from those affecting men entrepreneurs. This may have important implications for public policies and entrepreneurship develop ment programmes.
