This title is a welcome addition to the study of women entrepreneurs and small-business owners, a field that has received little scholarly attention. Given the growth of women-owned businesses around the world, it is a timely publication for scholars and students of international business and entrepreneurship. Policymakers interested in women's small-business ownership, as well as potential or actual women business owners, should also read this book.'--Melissa Guy, Feminist Collections'This collection on successful women entrepreneurs is timely. Entrepreneurship and small business creation and management are vital to tackle the current worldwide economic recession. Various stakeholders - policy-makers, academics, budding entrepreneurs - will find this book of interest. A number of country-level initiatives that serve to support women s entrepreneurship are offered that can work almost anywhere. The focus on successful women entrepreneurs is valuable in showing that women can do it and how they achieved their successes. Readers will find the women's voices reported here to be inspirational.'--Ronald J. Burke, York University, Canada
