This study is important for policy makers and scholars because it offers classical and contemporary evidence of women entrepreneurs which contributes significantly to the success of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. This research sheds light on the issues of women’s entrepreneurial activities and perceptions: their willingness to take the risk of entrepreneur, participation in enhancing local economy, self-efficacy, perceived opportunity, role model and fear of failure. Besides providing interesting facts about the perspectives of women entrepreneurs, this study also helps us to gain insight into the potential of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia. The dataset from Global Entrepreneurship Monitoring (GEM) Indonesia has been employed to outline a number of societal issues.
