abstract = {Social, academic and political interest in entrepreneurship has grown over the
last few years. In capitalist societies, it is seen as a way to curb unemployment and
combat exclusion among certain groups, i.e. women and immigrants, who suffer social
and labour discrimination and marginalisation. Adopting a qualitative method based on
semi-structured interviews, this research examines - from the psychosocial gender
perspective - the entrepreneurial behaviour of 52 immigrant women living in Spain.
From their testimonials, this paper reports on the broad range of reasons that lead
immigrant women to set up businesses, identifying the most common self-employment
profiles and strategies, while also describing the individual and social consequences of
their entrepreneurial behaviour, and how the entire process is conditioned by their
belonging to the female gender.},
