Muslim feminists and entrepreneurship at times and in contexts of crises

Tlaiss, Hayfaa and McAdam, Maura orcid logoORCID: 0000-0003-2203-5485 (2023) Muslim feminists and entrepreneurship at times and in contexts of crises. Gender, Work And Organisation, 30 (5). pp. 1759-1784. ISSN 0968-6673

Abstract
This paper explores the coping strategies utilised by Muslim women entrepreneurs in the country-specific context of crises-laden Lebanon. In so doing, we follow a qualitative interpretative methodology, drawing upon in-depth, semi-structured interviews with women entrepreneurs based in Lebanon. Accordingly, we present empirical evidence detailing how Muslim women entrepreneurs utilise Muslim feminism and various Islamic practices and values as a means of coping with crises situations and contexts. We also provide insights into how the doing of gender unfolds as a coping strategy enabled by Muslim feminism in the advent of adversities. Hence, we underscore the importance of approaching religion as a social construct which is performed, as opposed to treating religion as something located outside the spheres of gender and economics.
