Abstract

Despite the significant changes in the business world over recent decades, women entrepreneurs continue to encounter unique challenges that often hinder their progress. Women face obstacles like limited networks, societal biases, and funding availability that can hinder their entrepreneurial aspirations, even though they have significantly contributed to economic growth and job creation. Recognizing the unique challenges women encounter is essential, as these difficulties are often intensified by systemic injustices that persist in many sectors. But there are also a lot of business opportunities for women in the modern era. Women are discovering the new opportunities to lead and innovate because of the widespread use of digital technologies, changing consumer preferences, and an increased focus on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Governments, non-profits, and the private sector are starting to take supportive measures to empower women entrepreneurs. This lays the groundwork for a thorough examination of the opportunities and difficulties faced by female entrepreneurs, highlighting the necessity of focused tactics and teamwork to create an atmosphere in which women can succeed as successful entrepreneurs. We can gain a better understanding of how to encourage and elevate the voices of women in entrepreneurship and ultimately contribute to a more just and prosperous economy by looking at both the challenges and the development opportunities.
