Historically, Black women have experienced discrimination and marginalization in the workplace and society, and Entrepreneurship has played a role in facilitating their advancement. This presentation will discuss the importance of Black feminism and intersectionality, explore their roles in Entrepreneurship History, and make the argument that although coined later in terms of terminology, their essence has been historically recognized. The contributions of two Black women in Entrepreneurship History will also be acknowledged as they made significant strides to positively impact the economic and social development of Black women in particular, and the Black community in general.
