Summary

Introduction

Many women work because of several reasons, such as economics, self-actualization, status, etc. Egalitarianism has developed everywhere, so people believe men and women have the same right to work and pursue career. Competition and economic demands became some of the drivers of woman working. The latter supports the national economy by meeting the needs of the individual household. Women work in many fields, such as medical, politics, culinary, military, economics and business, etc. In Indonesia, several housewives transform to woman entrepreneurs to fulfil their family needs. Women entrepreneurs prove their worth and value in economic and social arena and their way through (Gano-an, 2020)
