Abstract

Women, as economic actors, perform different activities in a myriad of contexts, while dealing with the expectations of their societies and organizations. Following the increasing number of studies about women, this special issue reflects on the nature and extent of the challenges posed by their activities in Argentina, China, Colombia, and Sri Lanka since the late 1970s. This special issue is a joint interdisciplinary effort to move forward with analyzing the changes and transformations of their economic and entrepreneurial activities.
