Abstract

Women's participation and role-playing in society is obvious and necessary, and the discussion of how this presence without interfering with the principles, values, and other gender roles and dimensions is the concern of thinkers and policymakers and one of the reasons for the lack of successful entry of women in entrepreneurship. And effective mapping of the field of thought and theorizing and errors in theoretical studies have been produced, so a critical approach to its theoretical accumulation should be taken., the main issue of the present study is what are the key challenges and shortcomings in the field of women's entrepreneurship studies And by examining the existing theoretical literature, and their comparative and critical analysis, can policy indications be provided to policymakers, theorists, and decision-makers in the field of entrepreneurship to address indigenous considerations and prevent existing problems in women's role in development? the method of comparative-critical analysis was used and identified. Existing literature on deficiencies in theorizing methods; Facing the problem of role conflict for women; Problem solving inequality of access to facilities and opportunities; And the lack of economic and social context for women entrepreneurship has suffered and Therefore, in the efforts of theorizing and decision-making, it is necessary to be realistic, interdisciplinary, historical, avoid formalism and abstract literature independent of the requirements of time and place, and emphasize empiricism and case studies and development studies. Consider the fundamentals and values for redefining women's entrepreneurship, and the production of metrics and indicators in future research and decision-making.
