Abstract
Recent literature on female entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial careers reveals that: (a) up to this time, piecemeal studies of entrepreneurs (male and female) fail to provide a clear picture of the factors which encourage an individual to enter upon an entrepreneurial career; and (b) even less is known about female than male entrepreneurs. A comprehensive career model (a more definitive picture of the determinants of entrepreneurial behavior for women) is developed.
