This book explores entrepreneurship transformation as a response to recent global disruptions (such as technological advancements, emergency healthcare, and climate change) from the perspective of female entrepreneurs. This book illustrates how entrepreneurship and international business have enormous transformative power to advance inclusive economic development, embrace pluralism, and encompass minority groups. By analysing several case studies of female international entrepreneurs, this book explores how global transformation (digital, social, sustainable) may present some challenges but also represents a creative endeavour for female entrepreneurs in which opportunities arise and are exploited. This book is relevant to both academics and practitioners. From a theoretical point of view, it contributes to the transformative entrepreneurship and female entrepreneurship literature. From a managerial perspective, it informs aspiring female entrepreneurs and managers about the challenges posed by global transformation and how to develop entrepreneurial opportunities to achieve legitimation as successful female international entrepreneurs.
