“As this working paper has shown, women entrepreneurs are an emerging force in Bulgarian social and economic life. However, women are not often found in key political decision-making positions. Most women-oriented NGOs generally focus on advocacy and lobbying, and only scattered and small-scale interventions have been made in the fields of support for women’s entrepreneurship (e.g. networking, legal advice, and business strategy advice); education and training; and the provision of advisory services and research on women’s issues. A great deal remains to be done in all of these areas in order to improve the situation of Bulgarian women in general, and women entrepreneurs in particular” (61).

"One of the things the country needs to change most urgently is its dismal numbers on female representation in politics, Oyagbola tells me" (Para. 4). "Hawwah Gambo, one of the few female candidates in these elections, tells me a patriarchal culture that conditions women to believe they don’t need to aspire for leadership roles, and pits women against each other, is the main culprit" (Para. 9). "Gambo is from northern Nigeria, where women have historically been even more disadvantaged. People have said to her face that supporting her would be 'a wasted investment,' but she says it hurts the most when it comes from women" (Para. 10).
