This book makes an important contribution by comparing the experiences of white and Latina women who own and operate businesses in the U.S. economy. While accounting for the significance of gender, ethnicity, and social class, Davies-Netzley explores the various pathways that women take to becoming entrepreneurs and the economic, social, and cultural capital they use along the way.
