Abstract
Women are agents of human development, nurturers of humanity, catalyst in agriculture, economic development, natural resource management protection of the environment, etc. However, they suffer from lack of information, right to resources, control of assets, credits training, and new technologies. Women are successful in all spheres and have shifted from the kitchen to a higher level of professional activities. After two decades of independence, incredible changes have been noticed in the status of women in Indian society. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually been emerging with the growing sensitivity to the role and economic status in society. Women are an important resource and have the power to transform human misery. Due to the growing industrialization, urbanization, social legislation, and the spread of higher education and awareness, the emergence of Women-owned businesses is highly increasing in the economies of almost all countries. This paper aims to critically analyse the problems and prospects of women's entrepreneurship and suggest strategies to empower them.
