Female entrepreneurship has gained strength these days. Women have sought their space in the business world. According to Sebrae, they lead almost 50% of enterprises in Brazil. Therefore, this article sought to deepen more on the topic addressed by identifying the factors that motivated women to start their businesses, presenting the characteristics of entrepreneurs and reporting the challenges, advantages and disadvantages in the entrepreneurial process. The research used qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches with the application of questionnaires containing objective and discursive questions, applied to a sample of 55 women entrepreneurs in the municipality of Caucaia-CE. After the analysis, it was possible to verify that the entrepreneurs start their ventures in search of an income, financial independence and mainly personal or professional self-fulfillment. And the main characteristics of women are that they are organized and planned, persistent, creative and innovative entrepreneurs. However, they face challenges of insecurity, credit difficulties and especially the double journey of family and work. Therefore, it is concluded that over the years women have been fighting and conquering space in society and mainly achieving a strong power in the world of entrepreneurship. And in addition to contributing to the economy of society, they bring innovative ideas and reduce the great differences found in society between men and women.
