Abstract

The research literature in gender and entrepreneurship has been punctuated by regular and recurring appeals for exploring and adopting feminist theoretical underpinnings, especially in response to contextual changes. In spite of the same, there has not been a conspicuous upturn in the adoption or blending of feminist concepts in gender and entrepreneurship research. In contrast, feminist scholarship appears to have been more responsive to critique, evolving in new conceptual and practical directions that address concerns raised in prior literature. Using the narrative tool of waves to organise thematic and temporal trends, this paper attempts to examine and consolidate major trends in feminist history, feminist literature and gender and entrepreneurship research. Based on a comparative analysis of trends in the two disciplines, I identify commonalities and divergences, highlight lacunae in how foundational concepts are treated and updated, and propose directions for future research.
