Sommario/riassunto

Entre-employees are those who work for an organization while running their own company, with no interest in the transition to full-time entrepreneurship. This book explores the history, challenges, and leadership development of women entre-employees. The author



examines the impact of COVID as well as race and sexism in the workplace on women entre-employees. She also discusses how women are more likely to embrace community-driven businesses, which often face slow growth. Given these challenges, the author proposes ways that employers can support women entre-employees, who have been proven to be valuable workers. Using the life stories of women entre-employees, this useful addition to the entrepreneurship field will appeal to entrepreneurship scholars as well as those interested in topics related to leadership and gender at work. Sydney D. Richardson is Department Chair and Associate Professor of Leadership Studies, Adult Education at North Carolina A&T State University. Her research focuses on dynamics of women entre-employees, women non-traditional learners, and methods of narrative research.
