dc.description.abstractThis publication brings together the profiles of ten Egyptian women entrepreneurs who represent five decades of entrepreneurial history. Collectively these 10 women create jobs for over 700 workers. Championing entrepreneurial women means promotion and awareness-raising as critical elements in changing the business environment in which women operate. One of the factors influencing the level of women’s entrepreneurial activity is the low participation of women in the workforce, which is lower in Egypt than in most non-Arab countries. Even so, there are 630,000 woman-owned micro and small enterprises (MSEs); about 60,000 of these employ between 10 and 49 people.en
