Abstract: This study advances a decolonial understanding of women's entrepreneurship in the Global South by synthesizing how women entrepreneurs resist and navigate patriarchal constraints through infrapolitical strategies. It introduces infrapolitics as a critical lens to theorize subtle, informal, and contextually embedded acts of resistance that often remain overlooked in mainstream entrepreneurship literature.
