The growing contribution of woman entrepreneurs is not a recent phenomenon and has drawn academics to conduct various pertinent studies. Unfortunately, most earlier studies did not consider both social and human elements. This article's systematic review focuses on how entrepreneurship adapts to human and social factors. As a result, this study analyzed a sizable number of prior studies on the act of dealing with the problem. This research, which made use of the two major journal databases Scopus and ProQuest, was reviewed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). As a result, 22 articles can be systematically evaluated because of the search efforts. Most crucially, the review was able to develop three key topics based on thematic analyses; woman entrepreneur, human factor, and social factor. Six sub-themes were established under the three main topics which are motivations and education under human factors, family support and work life balance under social factors and government and financial support under woman entrepreneur. For the benefit of upcoming researchers, several conclusions were offered at the end of this study. The findings will be of interest to justify the significance of human and social factors among women entrepreneurs.
