ABSTRACT
The nexus of women, entrepreneurship and sustainability is, relatively rare in research to date, as it is also specifically for men, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. It is often more gender-neutral studies that begin to explore entrepreneurship and sustainability. In the case of entrepreneurship, economic and social outcomes have both been of interest, whether at individual business, community, or broader economy level. In the social domain, there are increasing levels of social disintegration and social inequalities, with the latter even in high-income nations. The economic domain is the scene of global economic instability, as the financial system, seemingly stable two decades ago, has not recovered from a crisis that almost created financial collapse. Sustainability goes well beyond the contested concept of sustainable development – popularised by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in the 'Our Common Future Report'. Environmental entrepreneurship looks to simultaneously create environmental and economic value "by addressing environmentally relevant market failures".
