Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Women Entrepreneurs and the Myth of ‘Underperformance’
Shumaila Yousafzai · 2018
70/100
👍 Worth It
This is the most intellectually ambitious of the women's-entrepreneurship academic titles in this batch — it does not just describe the landscape, it challenges the entrenched assumption that women-owned businesses underperform by questioning the very metrics used to measure success. Published by Edward Elgar with international contributors, this is solid graduate-level scholarship. For anyone outside that world, it will be dense and dry.
