This study uses a qualitative bibliometric analysis to investigate the factors that influence the success of women entrepreneurs. Using data from major academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, the study identifies and examines key themes and trends in literature. By combining qualitative methods with bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer and NVivo, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying dynamics that contribute to female entrepreneurs' success. The thematic analysis reveals information about the roles of social, economic, and psychological factors, as well as the impact of networks and policy frameworks. The findings are validated through expert opinions and iterative data analysis, ensuring a robust and reliable interpretation of the data. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by women in entrepreneurship, with implications for policy development and practical applications in supporting female entrepreneurs.
