Abstract
The study shows the growth of women’s entrepreneurship in rural and mountain areas of Catalonia, based on data on subsidies for self-employment. Gender segregation patterns and invisibility situations are recognized, but also the gradual introduction of women in male- dominated fields such as hiking. These new businesses facilitate work-life balance, generate self-employment, local development synergies and promote the participation of women in local politics. Institutional support is necessary for consolidation and replication.
