Oral Presentation
This publication can be seen as one that focuses on women entrepreneurs in West Africa and their multiple and widely diversified roles that permit us to overcome the discourse on the poor African women working in the informal sector that characterised the academic literature for the last decades. Africa has changed and there are now female leaders emerging that realise important tasks described in the different countries of the empirical studies of this book. This book also shows that women play important roles in philanthropy and sustainability, fields that they are interested in and this more than men. Let us hope that this publication can be considered as useful for women entrepreneurs in West Africa and beyond, and for universities and business schools that educate the next generation of women entrepreneurs and their male counterparts who must accept the important role of women entrepreneurs on the African continent.
