该特刊探讨女性创业中的创新，指出创新研究长期忽视性别因素，通过五篇文章提供新理论和实证证据，为未来研究开辟新方向。
Research Summary \nEntrepreneurship and innovation are social and relational processes that occur in diverse contexts \ninvolving multiple stakeholders. Recently, research in entrepreneurship has begun to explore \nentrepreneurial processes through the lens of gender. However, unlike its entrepreneurship \ncounterpart, innovation research has paid limited attention to gender dynamics. Indeed, the \nmajority of studies on innovation focus on products, processes or organizations, with the \nindividual often not ‘seen’. This special issue recognizes the intertwined nature of gender, \ninnovation, and entrepreneurship, and in doing so, presents five articles that develop new theory \nand provide new empirical evidence on the topic of innovation in women’s entrepreneurship. \nCollectively, they offer new perspectives and open new avenues for future work. In structuring \nthis editorial, we present an overview of the state of the field, provide a multilevel future \nresearch agenda, and introduce the articles that comprise this special issue. \nManagerial Summary \nDespite the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation for economies and societies worldwide, innovation and gender are rarely explored together. Indeed, limited attention has been \nplaced on the gendered nature of the relations among innovators, entrepreneurs, and processes. \nThis special issue includes five articles which address this gap from multiple perspectives. The \neditorial describes the state of the field prior to the special issue, introduces the special issue \narticles, and identifies a multilevel perspective suggesting avenues for further investigation.
