this work aims to describe different possible ways in which families – both birth and marriage families – can be involved in women entrepreneurial experiences. The analysis is accompanied by a presentation of some case studies, which were carried out by interviewing female entrepreneurs. These case studies highlight the existence of an unbreakable bound between female entrepreneurs and their families. Under a methodological profile, the main conclusion of our analysis is that female entrepreneurial experiences – women’s choice to become an entrepreneur and characteristics of their businesses – cannot be truly understood if attention is not paid also on their family condition. This latter aspect underlines a very profound difference between the entrepreneurial experiences of men and women, as it’s very difficult to find similar situations when men entrepreneurs are analyzed

Abstract
this work aims to describe different possible ways in which families – both birth and marriage families – can be involved in women entrepreneurial experiences. The analysis is accompanied by a presentation of some case studies, which were carried out by interviewing female entrepreneurs. These case studies highlight the existence of an unbreakable bound between female entrepreneurs and their families. Under a methodological profile, the main conclusion of our analysis is that female entrepreneurial experiences – women’s choice to become an entrepreneur and characteristics of their businesses – cannot be truly understood if attention is not paid also on their family condition. This latter aspect underlines a very profound difference between the entrepreneurial experiences of men and women, as it’s very difficult to find similar situations when men entrepreneurs are analyzedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
