Gayle Tzemach Lemmon argues that women entrepreneurs are not exceptions or a special interest group, as they make up the majority globally. However, no country has fully closed the gender economic participation gap. While microfinance is a powerful tool, it is not enough and larger ambitions are needed to empower more women entrepreneurs around the world. The document shares images and stories about women entrepreneurs to support Lemmon's position that greater solutions are needed to help women participate fully in the economy.
