👎 Skip It
A well-researched global survey of women-owned businesses that earned genuine praise from Choice magazine when it came out, but the core statistics and trend data are now more than two decades stale. The underlying scholarship is solid and the global lens is genuinely useful, yet for anyone seeking actionable insight into women's entrepreneurship today, the world has changed too much for this edition to deliver it.
