Public narratives of female entrepreneurship: fairy tale or fact?

Abstract

This article considers the nature of the portrayal of female entrepreneurs in public narratives of entrepreneurship and whether there exists a reductionist approach to such discourses. If there are basic plots driving such narratives, how authentic are they and what characteristics do they embody? Consideration is also given to whether individualism is amplified at the expense of the silencing of collectivism and the implications of such a trend. Two original and theoretically driven typologies are put forward that attempt to capture primary narrative characterisations of ‘the female entrepreneur’.
