Abstract

Entrepreneurship, once defined by business practices, is evolving into a socially celebrated phenomenon, prompting a reconsideration of its essence. Drawing from feminist perspectives, this article suggests moving beyond the traditional economic view to conceptualize entrepreneurship as a social activity. Focusing solely on the traditional entrepreneurial model overlooks identity dimensions, phenomenological aspects, and power relations. A qualitative study involving 25 student entrepreneurs reveals significant identity tensions associated with their membership in various social groups. This analysis underscores the need to rethink entrepreneurial support to better address the realities of aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly concerning identity and gender.
