Publisher's Synopsis
Rural women entrepreneurs often face significant barriers that hinder their business success and growth. These challenges include limited access to financial resources, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of supportive networks or mentorship opportunities. Additionally, societal and cultural norms may restrict their entrepreneurial activities and access to markets.

Examining Barriers and Building Resiliency for Rural Women Entrepreneurs discusses the multifaceted challenges faced by women in rural areas seeking to start and grow their own businesses. It explores strategies for overcoming these barriers, including the development of targeted support programs, enhanced access to capital, and the creation of robust networks and mentorship opportunities. Covering topics such as digital advancements, hospitality and tourism, and work-life balance, this book is an essential resource for policymakers, government officials, community leaders, local government representatives, business development specialists, mentors, academicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, and more.
