Societies that understand the contribution of entrepreneurship to social life and the wealth of the society are trying to increase the number of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are individuals who create new employment opportunities, enable innovation, and increase the level of social welfare in economic and social life. Increasing the number of entrepreneurs in a society is not only possible with the increase of male entrepreneurs, the other part (half) of the society are expected to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities and the necessary support and encouragement activities are made for them to be entrepreneurs. To reach the desired level of development in our country, in addition to male counterparts, is dependent on the increase in the number of female entrepreneurs who feel passion and attraction about entrepreneurship in their hearts and minds, take risks, need success with using knowledge and having an effective vision. Women entrepreneurship provides women with the opportunity to fulfill their roles in the family as well as to contribute to the society by achieving their own goals.

According to the results of the research, women's arithmetic mean value of entrepreneurship thought is high. The Female entrepreneurs participating in the research believe that social and cultural, economic, legal and political factors affect women entrepreneurs.
