The purpose of this short commentary reflects upon how feminist theory might be used to advance the contemporary gendered critique of women’s entrepreneurship. Drawing from gender theory, a diverse and complex critique has arisen to challenge the discriminatory discourse of entrepreneurship that fundamentally disadvantages women. To progress debate, the author suggests that greater attention should be afforded to feminist theories as explanatory analyses for such subordination and particularly to challenge contemporary postfeminist ideas which fuel a false promise of entrepreneurship for women.,A conceptual paper drawing upon extant literature to develop suggestions for future research .,Conceptual arguments challenging current approaches to analysing the relationship between women, gender and entrepreneurship.,Somewhat controversially, it is suggested that such a critique might encourage us to refocus research such that it challenges, rather than seeks to confirm, the axiom that under current conditions, entrepreneurship is “good” for women and society so ergo, we need more women entrepreneurs. Greater acknowledgement of feminist theory will also facilitate a stronger intersectional analysis, vital if we are to acknowledge how socio-economic and contextual diversity constrains or enables entrepreneurial behaviour.,This article challenges contemporary researchers to reconsider current thinking regarding the value of entrepreneurial activity for women.,The commentary concludes by identifying how the next generation of scholars might take such ideas forward to build upon established foundations.

性别与企业家精神：过去的成就和未来的可能性

这篇简短评论的目的反映了如何利用女权主义理论来推动当代对女性企业家精神的性别批评。从性别理论出发，已经出现了多种多样且复杂的批评，以挑战从根本上不利于妇女的企业家精神的歧视性话语。为了进行辩论，作者建议应将更多的注意力放在女权主义理论上，作为对这种从属的解释性分析，特别是挑战当代后女权主义的观念，这些观念加剧了对妇女创业的虚假承诺。未来的研究。，概念性论点挑战了当前分析女性，性别与企业家精神之间关系的方法。，颇有争议，有人建议，这种批评可能会鼓励我们重新关注研究，从而挑战而不是试图证实这样一个公理，即在当前条件下，企业家精神对妇女和社会“有益”，因此，我们需要更多的女企业家。对女性主义理论的更多认可也将促进更强的交叉分析，这对于我们要承认社会经济和背景多样性如何限制或促进企业家行为至关重要。本文向当代研究人员提出挑战，要求其重新考虑当前关于企业家活动对女性价值的思考。最后，评注通过确定下一代学者如何在建立的基础上推动这种思想的发展而结束。
