Abstract: | In this paper it is argued that the gender of an individual entering self-employment will significantly affect the experience of owning a business. Given that women are subject to patriarchal,pressures that underlie their subordination in society, it is argued that being female will affect the experience of self-employment from initiation of the firm, to development of the enterprise through to the manner of daily management challenges. This hypothesis is evaluated through a matched study of male and female small business owners where the effect of gender upon the experiences of small firm ownership is evaluated. |
