| Shrnutí: | This study explores the impact of microfinance on inclusive entrepreneurship in rural India through the lens of the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory. The research highlights the multifaceted nature of empowerment, encompassing economic, psychological, social, and political dimensions, and its outcomes observed in the qualitative interviews with members of microfinance groups who have launched various entrepreneurial initiatives. The interview findings reveal how microfinance groups achieve financial independence, while challenging traditional gender norms prevalent in their societies. This study provides practical insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to support and foster women’s inclusive entrepreneurship through microfinance initiatives. |
