Abstract: Women entrepreneurship is an area of growth in which scholars, policy-makers and researchers give fair attention to investigating this division. This analysis considers 113 studies sorted according to the publishing pattern, method of research (qualitative, quantitative and conceptual), publisher, and journal and gives future analysts vital encounters. By a broad analysis, it found that few studies examine the motivational factors influenced by social and environmental all while more analyses address the individual/personal factors that encourage women to take part in the enterprise. It is the leading research that performs a literature review to analyse the personal, social and environmental driven motivational factors for women entrepreneurship support and examine different potential viewpoints to investigate this field more thoroughly.

Keywords: women entrepreneurs; personal factors' social factors; environmental factors; economic growth.
