Reviews

‘Dorothy Moore, an international authority on women's entrepreneurship, has done it again. This book, like her earlier writing, puts the spotlight on a critical factor in a country's economic success -women entrepreneurial activity. She first positions her work in the wider changing workplace and social context, moving then to a consideration of both leadership and management and work and family life. She concludes by examining differing paths to entrepreneurship among women and management challenges likely to be faced as their firms mature. Her extensive use of case examples enriches the content at every step. This book is a must read for academics interested in entrepreneurship and family business, professional women, and both budding and established women entrepreneurs.’-Ronald J. Burke Schulich School of Business York University, Toronto, Canada
