1. Introduction

Going women, everyone should be proud of themselves. Looking at all areas of life, since it can be corporate management, household stuff management or the world of sports, women's success stories are very high. Most of the women are born with well-known entrepreneurial skills. Women indulge in patience, perseverance, risky attitude, hard work, etc., and these are the qualities of entrepreneurs. In this chapter, we discuss the history of these women who after several struggles in their lives and work environment, their own solutions to problems, and as such, emerged as successful business women.

Promoting girls’ financial empowerment is essential for more potent, sustainable and inclusive increase. Women's participation within the economy can boom productivity, convey range to the workforce and, in the end, make a contribution to building a greater harmonious society. Given the traits of the modern-day generation, inclusive of population growing old and sluggish financial boom, it's far increasingly essential to mobilize women's talent, that's the most used useful resource (Sejong-daero and Seoul, 2018).

Asia-Pacific economic cooperation has long adopted “girl's financial empowerment” as one of the maximum critical agendas and implementation of a ramification of initiatives. Partly due to those efforts, APEC has seen a good sized growth within the rate of APEC women participating inside the labour market. However, despite the development made, ladies nonetheless face numerous varieties of inequality inside the business sector, consisting of lower process possibilities, restricted opportunities to obtain excellent jobs and lower wages than guys. In addition, most of the female-owned companies are small, small and medium-sized companies, which are usually smaller in size than the male-owned companies. These businesswomen generally run their businesses partially in the informal sector, and their companies receive lower growth expectations. In general, women-owned companies impose more restrictions than men on size, scope, productivity, and profitability (Mary. Komunte, 2015).

Now that the world is in a transition towards a virtual financial system, information and communications technology is gambling an increasingly essential position than before. In order to be successful in the cutting-edge virtual economy, its miles anticipated that businesswomen can be geared up with the appropriate ICT competencies and knowledge. In unique, the Industrial Revolution started out to have a first-rate impact on the arena. The Industrial Revolution is defined as a hard and fast of technology that combines the bodily, area, and virtual worlds, and create fundamental modifications within the way people stay, paintings, and connect to each other. It is well worth noting that ICTs play a prime function in making the Fourth Industrial Revolution feasible. Although there's still debate about the lifestyles, as well, the primary functions of the Industrial Revolution, the arena is already undergoing radical adjustments from the Fourth Industrial Revolution in most aspects of lifestyles, which includes business and politics, socio-cultural practices and human members of the family. This international trend further highlights the pressing need of girl’s entrepreneurs to expand a strong expertise of latest commercial enterprise practices inside the Fourth Industrial Revolution and to make powerful use of ICT competencies and understanding of their businesses. Asia-Pacific financial cooperation, especially for ladies and the economy, recognizes these pressing needs and reinforces the significance of growing virtual literacy capability amongst your APEC girls (Neuman, W.L, 2012).
