dc.description.abstractSafia Mustafa is a woman entrepreneur in Pakistan. She owns and operates Eskillstech, a company specializing in marketing through social media, website, and graphic design. Pakistani cultural norms typically restrict women to maintaining the home and caring for children, and women rarely participate in the workforce. This case reviews how Safia was challenged by, and overcame, these cultural norms while forging her career. It also presents a spouse’s role in an entrepreneur’s pursuit of business goals and the importance of an entrepreneur’s passion for her business.
