| Izvleček: | It is recognised that gender influences entrepreneurship and that support for entrepreneurs needs to reflect this. However, there is no research focused on support for women entrepreneurs in the creative and cultural industries. Based on the abductive qualitative analysis of the responses of female business owners in the Canadian Francophone music industry to a questionnaire and obtained during focus groups, the article defines—using Deleuze’s conceptual framework of becoming-minor—the value that these women create with their businesses, which they have chosen to keep small. By naming their practices for creating this value and the challenges they face in having it recognised, it identifies the forms of support that would meet the needs of these women entrepreneurs, considering their definition of the value they create and their experience of the creative and cultural industries. |
