ABSTRACT
Behind
the most significant problems of the world—poverty and starvation, wars, environmental
pollution, and climatic change, there are goals characteristic of patriarchal society:
the extension of power, the acquisition of resources even using violence. One of
the main tools of acquiring economic and political advantages is to maintain the
subjection of women. Due to their biology, they are exposed to harassment and violence
in times of peace and war alike. Their core necessity is their own security and
the safety of their children, in order to achieve that, they endeavour to develop
a behaviour, an appearance, a life path, a way of life supported by the patriarchate—especially
if they have no pecuniary room for maneuver. The investment of women with economic
power, their entrepreneurship activity strengthen their autonomy and influence in
the personal and economic scope, moreover, even taken in the political sense, and,
at the same time, the prevailing of values that go beyond the patriarchal set of
values: the welfare of children, the elderly, the sick and other persons exposed,
preserving environment and safety. Goal of the paper is to raise awareness as to
the importance of female entrepreneurship, the impediments lying ahead of their
progress, to set forth the conditions of their development.
