In times of crisis - be it economic recessions, environmental catastrophes, or health emergencies -women and entrepreneurs specifically, feel the effects disproportionately. Yet, they  and yet oftenappear to exhibit exceptional resilience, utilising imaginative techniques to adapt, endure, and prosper in these adverse conditions (Welter et al., 2004; Vershinina, et al., 2020). Many have altered their business strategies, diversified their offerings, or leveraged community networks to maintain operations and assist their communities (Yu, et al., 2024). Crises frequently show deficiencies in formal support structures, but women's reactions demonstrate alternative strategies grounded in teamwork, ingenuity, and community-oriented resilience.
