Introduction
My research interest relies on #women entrepreneurship and #women entrepreneurship. In the field of Women entrepreneurship, referring to an "Entrepreneurship as Practice Approach", I am interest in how women become entrepreneur: which practice they develop and what makes them specific. In the field of Women within Companies, I explore how women strategize, in #practice, to become a leader. For that matter, I use qualitative research design (longitudinal observations, autoethnographies, ethnographies).
