Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study analyzes the set of Brazilian scientific production in the themes Entrepreneurship and Gender associate to highlight the gender perspectives in these publications. A semi‐systematic literature review was carried out, according to the studies published until the year 2022, in the databases Spell, Scielo, and in the following scientific journals: International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, Gender in Management, and Gender, Work and Organization. We selected 102 articles for reading. The studies were classified into five themes: (a) the impact of entrepreneurship on a woman's personal life; (b) aspects associated with management and entrepreneurship; (c) socialization and context; (d) gender and intersectionality; and (e) evaluation of the field of studies. An agenda for future studies is suggested. This research encourages Brazilian researchers to develop new studies and insights on the subject. In addition, it presents elements to guide policies and provide financial support to research aimed at understanding entrepreneurship and gender.
