This dissertation examines the structural and social obstacles that women
entrepreneurs face due to gender inequality and gender-neutral policies, despite their
important role in economic development. In the study, Simone de Beauvoir's concept of
"Otherness" and Joan Acker's theory of "Gendered Organizations" were used as
theoretical frameworks, and the research was supported by an interview with a woman
entrepreneur operating a business in the smart technology sector in Turkey and also
secondary data obtained from official reports. It has become noticeable that so-called
gender-neutral policies are inadequate for tackling the structural challenges faced by
women entrepreneurs. According to the findings of study, targeted, gender-sensitive
policies for women entrepreneurs alongside enhanced opportunities for networking will
contribute to develop an inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem.
