The study is based on initial conceptions for a thesis and has, as a modal point, the widening of the understanding of how women, in the socio-professional context, become entrepreneurial, and in what way they launch themselves as protagonists in this process. The aim of the study is to analyze the identity of the entrepreneurial woman under the aspect of cultural dynamics, entrepreneurship and the discursive ethos. The analyzis reveal that it is useful to cross-examine the themes in an interdisciplinary way to reflect on the discursive ethos constructed through scenarios on entrepreneurship, shown in the interdiscursivity of women's socio-professional practices, and to understand them.
