| مستخلص: | The scholarly interest and activity in the women's economic empowerment domain have dramatically expanded in the last decade, allowing scholars to synthesise findings from empirical and conceptual work. While this helped to consolidate knowledge about women’s engagement in economic activities, it highlighted the need for new directions to capture the ‘heterogeneity’ of the composition of women’s entrepreneurship. The literature on family businesses highlights the invisibility of women and a paradox where women’s engagement in entrepreneurial activity is increasing at an exponential rate, yet women remain economically disenfranchised. This research paper adopts a micro-sociological approach, focusing on symbolic interactionism to consider micro concepts such as gender, social class, and economic empowerment/independence in Nigeria's context of family businesses. The findings reveal that women’s engagement in a family business (especially in patriarchal societies) is largely sacrificial.
