Abstract: Few studies were interested on the characteristics of women who enter in activity and the reasons which they choose to start a business. The public authorities, the researchers and the partners of the development were rarely interested in the profile of women creators. They often focus on their needs. Based on data from a field survey of 107 women entrepreneurs in the Dakar region, the purpose of this paper is to draw up a portrait of the respondents, both at the level of the personal factors and to the levels of the structures they manage. We will present, using the tools of data analysis, the first description of the female entrepreneurship in Senegal (using sociological, psychological and situation variables) and on the activities created and their development.
