This research paper intends to provide a thorough academic overview of the role which risk plays in the entrepreneurial experience of women. Since the basis of entrepreneurial risk as a field of study is not conceptually matured as other subjects; hence, it makes the gender-related distinction much more complicated in real terms. The concept of risk is significant concerning most of the academic disciplines, and usually, it is correlated with the decision-making process. Notwithstanding the fact that academic literature is unable to establish a direct relationship between varied aspects of risk and entrepreneurship at all occasions, there is a common understanding that interrelation among several factors like personal, social and political bears effect upon risk and prospective conduct. Our aim is to put forward a conceptual framework about gender-related aspects of risk and to assist women in realizing their entrepreneurial potential by overcoming the obstacles efficiently. The paper also renders a ground for discussion about prospective policies initiatives to promote women entrepreneurs. We have also discussed the research and information gaps present concerning women entrepreneurship and risk, to provide direction to the researchers and academicians seeking to contribute further in this area of study.
