Abstract: Abstract This chapter covers an examination of the fundamental attributes of crowdsourcing, with a specific emphasis on the operational procedures of equity crowdfunding. Afterwards, our focus shifts towards examining the characteristics that may play a role in addressing the gender disparity evident in traditional financing channels, as well as distinguishing crowdfunding from other types of venture capital. The existing literature demonstrates that there is significant interest from scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in exploring the connection between female entrepreneurship and crowdfunding. Building upon this, the second part of this chapter aims to present an extensive examination of recent scholarly articles pertaining to this subject matter. This review will primarily concentrate on the outcomes of these studies and will also provide an analysis of the different competing theories.
