Over twenty representatives from academia and industry, including the Entrepreneurial Exchange and Scottish Enterprise, attended Professor Marlow's presentation, "Challenging the 'myth' of the under-performing female entrepreneur," which proposed that labelling women business owners as 'under-performing' reflects a gendered rhetoric of female deficiency rather than a reality of market discrimination and constraint.
'Professor Marlow is one of the leading researchers in the field of women's enterprise and this seminar has attracted the interest of practitioners and policy makers Prof. Sue Marlowas well as academics", said Professor Sara Carter, Head of Department.
