Abstract: Abstract This chapter takes a look at women entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe through the use of a snowball and convenience sampling method to gather the data. The chapter begins with a very in-depth literature review of the previous research that has been completed in this subject area. Theoretical findings about Zimbabwe showed that historically, women were excluded from actively participating in politics and in decision making. Economically, women were denied ownership of resources such as land and were thus dependent on men who were regarded as bread winners. Socia-culturally, activities were arranged according to gender; thus, there were activities strictly done by men and others reserved for women. The primary research study looked at women entrepreneurs from various geographic locations in Zimbabwe and explores what the characteristics are for the women entrepreneurs along the lines of human capital, social capital and financial capital perspectives.
