What is Entrepreneurial Feminism?

Entrepreneurial feminism promotes feminist values through the process of creating ventures, to improve the position of women in society. As defined by Barbara Orser and Catherine Elliott, entrepreneurial feminism is a mechanism to create economic self-sufficiency and equity-based outcomes for girls, trans, queer women, and women- identified people.

Entrepreneurial feminists enter commercial markets to create wealth and social change based on the ethics of cooperation, equality, and mutual respect.
