Women’s entrepreneurship makes significant contributions to the level of economic development in the world. However, different from developed economies women entrepreneurs meet more difficult and challenging situations in developing economies. Further to that women’s participation in the workforce and entrepreneurship process is much lower in the countries where the gender gap is high. According to some study findings, independently of disadvantageous conditions and the level of economic development, how women entrepreneurs become successful is the issue of concern. Thus, the aim of the study is to explore the experiences, success factors, and personal and social results of women entrepreneurship process. The semi-structured interview method was employed in the study. A total of 30 entrepreneurs women participated in the research. The results showed that apart from personal characteristics the environmental support is also significant in the women’s entrepreneurship process. It was also understood that the self-perceptions change positively with the effects of decreasing inequality attitudes towards women.
