This article aims to extend prior knowledge of female digital entrepreneurship and interaction with social networking digital platforms since there is limited research. The findings propose two themes out of the research, the first being digital platforms addressing the challenges of time, location, and process of doing business for women, and the second is digital platforms breaking cultural barriers and empowering women. The findings concluded that digital platforms such as social networking sites are enabling more female entrepreneurs overall. Therefore, this paper contributes to the empirical studies on this subject and caters to a contextual research question that will make it original and resourceful.
