In this context, the purpose of this essay is to analyze women entrepreneurship as a professional choice at a business Management course and to relate it to the reasons why they choice for this course and to study the fact that the students consider important to their professional activity. The essay has an exploratory character and the data were statistically treated through factorial analyses, ANOVA and logistic regression.
