Abstract

The role of women in research and in the entrepreneurship has not been enough studied by specialized literature. Interest for these questions has increased at the end of the last century and can be explained by women playing a more important role in all social settings. Women have entered the work market and their presence and participation in both public and private settings has increased. The aim of this paper is not to review the actions being implemented to achieve more integration and equality of women in society, but to discuss the situation of women as researchers and entrepreneurs. To do this, the most important questions related to these themes are presented. We have analyzed some questions in the last centuries before showing the findings of women in research nowadays. After this, we introduce women as entrepreneurs. Paper ends with some conclusion about the role of women in research and business.
