dc.description.abstract<p>The Chapter provides a theoretical introduction to the book "Women in Business Families - from past to present". This volume analyses and discusses the topical themes of family business and women in the past and present. The uniqueness of the volume lies in its attempts to focus on time and place in understanding gender in businesses and women’s agency in firms by combining historical and contemporary perspectives and research. The volume integrates the notions of time and gender in focusing on family businesses or business families over time.</p><p> Through the contemporary focus on gender equality, a gender gap has been identified with regard to female entrepreneurship, and particularly to women´s involvement in businesses. We take three contemporary notions and topical phenomena of the current society as lenses and subject them to further analysis, both in the historical and contemporary perspectives, when analysing gendered practices and equality in business families over time. The three underlining themes are: 1) Challenging the heroic image of male entrepreneurs, 2) Notions of the visibility and invisibility of women, and 3) Women in business succession. We devote a section in the volume to each of the themes, which are highly relevant in the current (women’s) entrepreneurship literature.</p><p> The volume balances between historical and contemporary analyses and the authors apply either historical or contemporary perspectives to the themes in exploring the applicability of the concepts in understanding the role of women in business families. The historians particularly explore whether the concepts have temporality, i.e. whether the concepts could already be found in early modern times, when capitalism emerged in the society, and whether they have any historical relevance. From the perspective of a piece of historical research this approach is novel, as historians usually focus on historical stories and occasions. The aim here is that historical analyses give deeper understanding and perspective on women´s business involvement in current times. The contemporary research on entrepreneurship demonstrates the stability of women´s roles in the economy and business and enlightens the reader in the ways in which female agency in business evolves over time. The chapters also focus on time and history when analysing the contemporary phenomena.</p> <p> <br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <br /></p> <p> <br /></p>
