Summary. Rural women entrepreneurs in Malaysia drive economic growth and gender empowerment but face significant barriers including inadequate infrastructure, limited market access, restricted financial resources, and socio-cultural bias. The paper identifies targeted solutions: improving finance access, investing in rural infrastructure, and challenging cultural norms.
