Women Entrepreneurs and Disparities During the Pre- and Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Eras

Abstract

The challenges of a global pandemic have placed women's business ownership and entrepreneurship at the forefront of much debate. This is an important area to pursue within scholarly arenas because women's involvement in business ownership and entrepreneurship continues to impact women's livelihoods, families, and impacts the local and global economy. There are many studies that explored challenges and barriers to women's entrepreneurship, a more specific and focused finding should be addressed to review implications presented due to COVID-19 pandemic. An examination of how ethnicity, gender, and race plays a role in women entrepreneurship process and the way women entrepreneurs' experiences were shaped during the pre- and post-pandemic era is warranted on a scholarly level.
