Women Entrepreneurship in Commerce: Breaking Barriers
In the contemporary era, women are assuming equal responsibilities to their male counterparts, regardless of whether they are employed in "the public or private sector". In contemporary information and global society, women's status has significantly changed from that of pastoral civilisation. Simply said, empowerment is the state of being free, equal, and having access to opportunities. Within this article, we will examine the diverse literature that has been conducted on the topic of women's entrepreneurship and its ability to overcome obstacles in the realm of commerce. It concluded that women entrepreneurship in commerce is reshaping India's economic and social landscape by breaking traditional barriers and embracing digital opportunities. Despite societal challenges and family responsibilities, women are achieving financial independence and business success across diverse sectors. The rise of e-commerce has empowered many to balance professional and personal roles from home. Their growing contributions to GDP and national income highlight their vital economic role. As women continue to challenge gender norms and gain recognition, their entrepreneurial journey serves as an inspiration for future generations. Supporting and empowering women entrepreneurs will be key to India’s sustained economic progress.
