SUMMARY
Women are important part of the African Society both in the present times and in the precolonial past, women were/are entrepreneurs who take initiatives to establish and effectively run or manage businesses. It is important to state that woman entrepreneurship is largely associated with small and medium enterprises consequent upon the fact that SMEs give women the opportunities to express their entrepreneurial talents hence their likelihood to be more involved in SMEs than their male counterparts. Findings and research presented by the International Labour Office as regards female entrepreneurship in developing economies, particularly in Africa, leads to substantial evidence that even women living under harsh and adverse conditions can still have notable economic impact by creating employment which most often than not is usually directed towards other women. Research findings indicate that a sample of 118 women entrepreneurs interviewed in Zambia owned 114 firms, providing 1013 persons with employment. Therefore, the impact of women entrepreneurship cannot be over-emphasised.1
