Abstract (De)
We contrast previous claims and the agenda of network programs by and for women who highlight fighting network disadvantages by homophily. By forming cliques with other women, minority disadvantages persist, and these networks are losing rather than gaining efficiency. We outline how women networking with males, and how alternative networking styles break network cliques of men that act as barriers to women. Such networking strategies also contribute to progressive change in the total network reducing stereotypes that are restricting women entrepreneurs.
