Women Entrepreneurs Can Enter Into Male Fortress
At the age of global economy in 21st century, two remarkable trends are emerging 1) Women ownership in business and 2)International Trade business. Among world's total human resources, women have occupied more than fifty percent. Women are involving themselves in traditional and in new ventures. The number of women entrepreneurs in India is small comparing to the total population of the country (10- 12%) but they are still now fighting against social discrimination, skills and the credit. They have achieved their position as an entrepreneur in certain areas of production, such as garment making, dress designing, food producing etc. and trading in ready made garments, herbal products, handicrafts etc. In the rural areas or in remote villages, the women are maintaining their family through ownership of cottage industries. Now they are entering into the male dominated profession as running hotels, taxi and auto driving, leadership in an organization, computer and mathematical occupation etc.
