Reihe: Garland Studies in Entrepreneurship

Many women seek to achieve greater control over their working lives by making a transition to entrepreneurship and, as a result, must negotiate gender norms and gender-related expectations in both business and personal relationships. Based on interviews with women in the New Jersey suburbs, this book explores the range of uncertainties and practical dilemmas independent businesswomen face today.
