'What a great book! Two eminent researchers on women's entrepreneurship, Patti Greene and Candy Brush, have assembled a wonderful group of well-known and upcoming scholars, each of them adding novel insights to the puzzle of ''female entrepreneurial identity''. The book covers a wide array of interesting identity-related themes and presents evidence from countries and contexts which are much less studied. This is a must-read for those of us who want to understand and study entrepreneurial identity from a gender perspective, and also for those supporting women entrepreneurs.'
