"Current literature, practice and policy assumes that ecosystems are neutral and that all entrepreneurs have equal access to resources, opportunities and support to start and grow ventures. The present volume addresses this assumption by analyzing how ecosystems are gendered. Authors explore key themes - founding, incubating and accelerating, financing and changing - providing insights for how we can make ecosystems more inclusive and how entrepreneurial ecosystems can be a space for resistance and activism in social transformation. Don't miss this book!" Professor Candida Brush, Babson College, USA
