“We have received 6 months at a time, and to be able to find more opportunities for this target group, who are disabled … I have had lots of ideas, but consequently not been able to pursue them” (Barbara) “I think it will be very difficult for small businesses … The competition is not fair. There are no small businesses that can place zero-sum bids, to take a chance and see how it goes. You have to know what you’ve got” (Ingegerd)	Formal obstacles in female-dominated sectors (regulations, procurement procedures, disfavouring SMEs)	Gendered constraints in entrepreneurship
“It is still the case that if you meet an older man, he’ll say ‘Oh, you are the CEO – I thought you were the secretary.’ Well, that´s the kind of thing we hear” (Maria) “It’s like it is in the air, and then if you need to be someone’s boss as well, then … well, they do not accept that you are their superior” (Maja) “Finally, you get so tired you say ‘I don’t give a shit’. Perhaps we should have an old man making the decisions around here … then everything would be fine … That is exactly where I didn’t want to end up, what I have been fighting for since I was a teenager, that I would be in the situation where I have been through it all and am back where I started” (Maja). “I have felt [the attitude] that kind of ‘can she, that girl, really do this?’” (Barbara)	Informal obstacles (incl. gendered norms)
“It doesn’t help that I have lots of energy and willingness and that I bring up clear ideas … We are not getting anywhere. So now, I say that I have used up my stock of willingness” (Barbara) “At first, it was good to have these small [firms] but then gradually the large ones come in and then you are pushed out. … No, I have put in my last bid. I won’t bid again … I have not received anything in seven years, so there is no point” (Siv) “We have exhausted it, if you like, we haven’t the energy to do it all over again. I will never work for the municipality ever again” (Margret)	Disempowerment in female-dominated sectors
“We have a pedagogical approach which is very unusual … we do not regard these kids as sick … we have a burning interest in these kids and what we can do to help them” (Katarina) “The most important thing is that the target group has some security …. I do not want to leave when there is a crisis. I want to see it carried on. It is that sense of responsibility one has” (Barbara) “And when I found the yoga, I was home. And then I wanted to pass on to others what I had been fortunate to receive – and to do that I had to start my own business” (Lisa) “There was far too little room for the woman and her individual needs” (Erika)	Strong motivation to take social responsibility	Social change through entrepreneurship
