What is it about?
The feminist research explains some problems of women business-owners about political unrest in a highly patriarchal country, Bangladesh. It also explains how political chaos challenges the government initiative in financially supporting women business-owners. Whereas the existing studies on women's entrepreneurship are mostly focused on developed nations, this research provides unique insight on the context-specific issue of a developing country.

Why is it important?
In general, the existing studies hold women individually liable for the limited scale of their business operation, but this research explains how political unrest, an external factor, negatively affects their ventures. The study further reveals some patriarchal problems of women business-owners regarding political unrest. Policymakers of developing nations can be benefitted considering these problems of women business-owners about political unrest, while designing policies for women's empowerment.
Perspectives
As the studies on women's entrepreneurship is developed nations focused, we are not aware about how different contextual issues of developing nations influence women's businesses. My article brings to light the problems of political unrest about women's small firms. I hope readers will get a different but important viewpoint about considering women entrepreneurs from a developing nation perspective.
