Abstract: The number of businesses founded by women has been steadily increasing, gaining greater visibility and recognition in society. This study aimed to analyze the profile of women entrepreneurs in the city of Sobral. To conduct the research, bibliographic methods and a qualitative approach with data collection were applied. The survey was carried out through a questionnaire on the Google Forms platform, answered by twenty women entrepreneurs from Sobral – CE.The findings indicate that, for the respondents, entrepreneurship often emerged out of necessity. However, the main motivation to start a business was the pursuit of freedom. The characteristics most frequently associated with their entrepreneurial identity were independence and self-confidence. On the other hand, the greatest challenges reported by these women were prejudice and the difficulty of balancing work and family responsibilities.
