Top Female Entrepreneurs Who Beat All Odds in Their Way of Success

Entrepreneurship is not easy and it is certainly not for every individual in this world. Gender segregation as a social construct is often assumed a problem in the world of entrepreneurship. It is true that this very field is male-dominant, the likes of top entrepreneurs mostly being males have led to the birth of this nuisance-of-an-assumption, which continues to hinder the prospect of so many talented women looking to make it big with their ideas.

The problem lies at the mere perspective of people who are most inclined towards a bias, which instigates the world of technology is a no-go-area for women.
