Abstract

The controversial issue examined here, about woman entrepreneurship and gender accountability gender accountability , is whether society should provide the means for reconciling work and family life so that women can make their business activity compatible with their family “obligations” (Konrad and Mangel, Strateg Manage R 21, 1225–1237, 2000; Konrad, Handbook on women in business and management. Edward Elgar, Northampton, MA, 2007; Eagly and Johannesen-Schmidt, Handbook on women in business and management. Edward Elgar, Northampton, MA, 2007), or whether a more profound, far-reaching transformation is required, changing current male success models in the Western world so that men and women can share their child-care and general domestic obligations (Calás et al., Handbook on women in business and management. Edward Elgar, Northampton, MA, 2007; Acad Manage Rev, 34, 3, 552–569, 2009). The conclusions about these two ways are that a balance is needed: changing the forms of female work and transforming the society in a more deep sense.
