Break Through Imposter Syndrome & Step Into Your Power
A study ‘How imposter syndrome and fears hinder women entrepreneurs’ business growth’, published by Business Horizons, in Volume 62, Issue 5, 2019 sheds significant insights into why imposter syndrome is more prevalent for women entrepreneurs. The authors Kimberly Eddleston, Jamie Ladge, and Keimei Sugiyama state ‘One reason why it’s easy for women entrepreneurs to suffer from imposter syndrome is that “entrepreneurship’ is typically depicted in masculine terms: “captain of industry,” “trailblazer,” and “pioneer” being common terms used.

And despite women’s gains in business, society still sees the business world in masculine terms.”
