This comprehensive book delves into scholarly examinations of women's entrepreneurial inclination and their remarkable contributions to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). By fostering innovation and competitiveness, women entrepreneurs not only drive economic growth but also promote positive social and economic development, serving as inspiring mentors and role models for younger women. However, the limited participation of women in STEM, which begins at education levels, hinders their representation as entrepreneurs in these critical domains. The authors address these challenges and shed light on the outcomes of extensive research studies, drawing upon both global and country-specific evidence. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking to promote women's entrepreneurship, particularly in STEM, as it provides valuable insights and strategies for fostering an inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial landscape.
