Abstract

Gender and entrepreneurship research emphasize the masculine symbolic domain of entrepreneurial practices, but mostly neglects to analyze the gender complexity of doing entrepreneurship. This article examines entrepreneurial femininities as constructed and performed by Italian women. Theoretically, it employs postfeminism as a globalized discourse to offer a nuanced reading of the relationship between gender inequalities, entrepreneurship, and postfeminism. Through the analysis of 51 interviews with entrepreneurs, the paper explores how postfeminist ideals and discourses (the “super(wo)man” who is “free” to choose) are adapted to reflect the Italian cultural context. In doing so, it discusses how these women manage the coexistence of feminist (i.e., autonomy, empowerment) and anti-feminist (i.e., traditional division of household labour) expectations concerning women’s place in work and society.

“那个女孩是谁?”企业家是一个超级(女人)人
性别与创业研究强调创业实践的男性象征领域,但大多忽略了对创业的性别复杂性的分析。本文考察了意大利女性构建和执行的企业家女性主义。从理论上讲,它将后女权主义作为一种全球化话语,对性别不平等、企业家精神和后女权主义之间的关系进行了细致入微的解读。本文通过对51位企业家的访谈分析,探讨了后女权主义理想和话语(“自由”选择的“超级(没有)男人”)是如何适应意大利文化语境的。在此过程中,它讨论了这些妇女如何处理关于妇女在工作和社会中的地位的女权主义(即自主、赋予权力)和反女权主义(即传统的家务分工)期望的共存。
