Women have always been considered a more gentle and more sensitive gender and it has been considered that a woman is not a person who can manage and lead more people to ward success. As times change, and women today are not only housewives and mothers, but also more educated than men and experts in their jobs, the question is: "How many women can be successful entrepreneurs?" This topic is interesting for several reasons. First of all, it tackles all women, and men who cooperate with female directors, women in high governmental positions, and women entrepreneurs. We can say that today, more than ever, women are devoted to themselves and their growth, but at the same time, they harmonize their private and business lives. Furthermore, women are becoming more and more equal to men and they are becoming less dependent on them. In order to support the above-mentioned evidence, a few examples of successful Croatian female entrepreneurs are presented. The theoretical part introduces specifics of women entrepreneurs. Women are more oriented toward collaboration and teamwork and they are better listeners. For this reason, women are choosing service activities when they are starting their own business ventures. The theoretical part of the paper is supplemented by an overview of current knowledge about female entrepreneurs in Croatia, as well as in Europe and in the world. However, as the share of female entrepreneurs is smaller than the share of male entrepreneurs, the Republic of Croatia has introduced a Strategy for the development of women's entrepreneurship. The aim of the Strategy is to encourage Croatian women to start their own business. The empirical part of the research deals with the analysis of data from the Croatian Chamber of Trades and Crafts, the Financial Agency, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics and the Court Register on the share of women in entrepreneurship. It focuses primarily on women's entrepreneurial activities by activities and ownership share. At the end of the empirical part, a critical review of the women’s position in Croatian entrepreneurship is given.
