Анотація

Women's emancipation changed the established norms of society facilitating the formation of a new layer of economic intelligentsia, including women. Therefore, women's еntrepreneurship has played an important role in the history of Galicia as economic development determined social processes, given women’s access to professional commercial education and their ability to manage a business independently. The multicultural and multiethnic nature of this province gives additional specificity to social change in such a conservative environment as Galicia. An integral part of the study of the ethnic issue is the sphere of employment, namely, which branches of entrepreneurship were common among women of different ethnic groups (Polish, Jewish, and Ukrainian). In order to investigate the source study aspect of this issue, three main groups of sources were studied: statistical collections, address books, and the press.
