Drawing upon the intersectional lens, our study aims at understanding how some oppressive structures constrain immigrant women’s agency and how it influences the development of entrepreneurial intentions and ventures. Data have been collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in France. Dividing women entrepreneurs in two sub-groups, we point the common and unique challenges faced by native and immigrant women entrepreneurs in France. We notably highlight how the migration journey enrich women’s self-efficacy and point the importance of peer role models and mentoring on women’s entrepreneurial intentionality.
