Female entrepreneurship—understood as the generation of innovation, creativity, growth, and employment—is a highly relevant phenomenon for national economies. Traditionally, cultural norms and stereotypes have associated entrepreneurship primarily with men. However, research on female entrepreneurs has become increasingly important. This study analyzes the historical evolution of research on women's entrepreneurship through bibliometric analysis, with particular emphasis on the role of digitalization as a factor mitigating the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs. The bibliometric method examines bibliographic material from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, based on the systematic classification of information, using Web of Science and Scopus. This methodology addresses variables such as authorship, visibility, the degree of collaboration between authors, institutions, and the countries where the research is conducted. Because of its quantitative nature, the bibliometric method translates the intangible (scientific quality) into measurable indicators, facilitating qualitative study of the evolution of ideas. Research in this area gained significant momentum in the 1990s. The results highlight how the sociocultural context influences female entrepreneurship, showing that it can generate both opportunities and challenges. The bibliometric analysis confirms that female entrepreneurship exists worldwide, although with varying intensity and motivations. In developing or less developed countries, women often start their own businesses out of necessity, seeking independence and improved living conditions in the face of social and gender barriers. In developed countries, however, entrepreneurship is more often driven by opportunities such as economic growth and personal or professional fulfillment. The digital world offers a more neutral and accessible space -with lower fixed costs, greater flexibility, and opportunities for self-employment-, making it a powerful driver of women's empowerment and emancipation.
