ABSTRACT:
This study uses bibliometric analysis to examine the relationship between women's entrepreneurship and sustainable development between 2002 and 2024. It uses information from the Scopus database to find patterns in authorship, citation networks, institutional relationships, and research production trends. In order to combat poverty, foster equitable growth, and support environmental preservation, the analysis emphasizes how women entrepreneurs play a crucial role in sustainable development through creative and inclusive business practices. This bibliometric analysis offers an in-depth overview of the research environment and insightful information for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars who want to increase the influence of female entrepreneurs on sustainability objectives. The global communities can better support women entrepreneurs as change agents who are both transformative and sustainable by addressing current research gaps and promoting international collaboration. The results highlight the increasing scholarly attention being paid to the subject, with notable contributions coming from nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and India, which together account for a sizable portion of publications and citations in this area.
