Academics are interested in women's entrepreneurship research since mid-1980s as many women have been documented to take part in entrepreneurial ventures. However, the existing research is limited given that there are still gaps in the understanding of women's entrepreneurship perspectives and theories that been applied in the field. This paper aimed to visualize selected women entrepreneurship studies published internationally indexed using bibliometric and content analysis through the VOS viewer application. The research data of 96 documents published from 2012 to 2021 were obtained from the Scopus database. As a result, gender theory, feminist theory and institutional theory are the main theories that have been applied to describe women's entrepreneurship in this study. The perspective of women entrepreneurship is being discussed based on the keyword that frequently appear in the article like entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurs and gender. Lastly, the discussion highlights the research's contributions and gives recommendations for future research on women's entrepreneurship.
