Such an interesting read!

Great contribution! Great text structure, as well!
The narratives are heart-breaking and elating at the same time; not without identity tension, though: tension for being a woman, a Muslim, a mother and an entrepreneur ( or -euse?)
I wonder how much it meant for the women, how empowered they felt as well, when asked to participate in the study; in my view, a lot.
In ethnographic research, I feel that alone is what motivates you and keeps you going.
