Abstract

Women?s entrepreneurship has been extensively studied in relation to men. Can we, however, still speak of a single female entrepreneurship? The panorama of female entrepreneurship is complex, and different motivational profiles can coexist. In this article, we look at thirty years of research into women?s entrepreneurial motivation. Our study identified three ideal types that appear regularly in the literature: the women entrepreneurs by necessity, the career women entrepreneurs (or in transition to entrepreneurship), and women who are creating companies at the time of maternity (mompreneurs). We conclude that female entrepreneurship research should take into account the heterogeneity of women. Their motives to start a business cannot be studied apart from the relationship to the life-cycle of the women and the family.
