Entrepreneurship and Agency as Lived Experience

<p>Historical research into female entrepreneurs has become a burgeoning field in recent years. However there is still a lack of studies of businesswomen based on their personal documents and such documents seem to be rare. This book an appraisal of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century East-Icelandic businesswoman P��l��na Waage (1864-1935) fills that gap. It investigates the agency of a small-scale female entrepreneur primarily based on her autobiography diaries and letters using the methodology of the history of experience and 'lived experience'.</p>
